Subject: [PATCH 4/5] efi/x86: Remove extra headroom for setup block

commit 223e3ee56f77 ("efi/x86: add headroom to decompressor BSS to
account for setup block") added headroom to the PE image to account for
the setup block, which wasn't used for the decompression buffer.

Now that we decompress from the start of the image, this is no longer
required.

Add a check to make sure that the head section of the compressed kernel
won't overwrite itself while relocating. This is only for
future-proofing as with current limits on the setup and the actual size
of the head section, this can never happen.
