Subject: [PATCH v3 21/24] efi/x86: Explicitly set sections memory attributes

Explicitly change sections memory attributes in efi_pe_entry in case
of incorrect EFI implementations and to reduce access rights to
compressed kernel blob. By default it is set executable due to
restriction in maximum number of sections that can fit before zero
page.
