Subject: [PATCH V3] efi/libstub/x86: Avoid EFI map buffer alloc in allocate_e820()

In allocate_e820(), call the EFI get_memory_map() service directly
instead of indirectly via efi_get_memory_map(). This avoids allocation
of a buffer and return of the full EFI memory map, which is not needed
here and would otherwise need to be freed.

Routine allocate_e820() only needs to know how many EFI memory
descriptors there are in the map to allocate an adequately sized
e820ext buffer, if it's needed. Note that since efi_get_memory_map()
returns a memory map buffer sized with extra headroom, allocate_e820()
now needs to explicitly factor that into the e820ext size calculation.

v3:
  - Move define of EFI_MMAP_NR_SLACK_SLOTS to efistub.h instead
    of providing a helper function to get it.

v2:
  - Instead of freeing the EFI memory map buffer allocated by
    efi_get_memory_map(), avoid the allocation in the first place.

  - Changed the title of the patch because the v1 title no longer
    applies. v1 ref:
