x86/boot/KASLR: Prefer mirrored memory regions for the kernel physical address

Currently KASLR will parse all e820 entries of RAM type and add all
candidate positions into the slots array. After that we choose one slot
randomly as the new position which the kernel will be decompressed into
and run at.

On systems with EFI enabled, e820 memory regions are coming from EFI
memory regions by combining adjacent regions.

These EFI memory regions have various attributes, and the "mirrored"
attribute is one of them. The physical memory region whose descriptors
in EFI memory map has EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attribute (bit: 16) are
mirrored. The address range mirroring feature of the kernel arranges such
mirrored regions into normal zones and other regions into movable zones.

With the mirroring feature enabled, the code and data of the kernel can only
be located in the more reliable mirrored regions. However, the current KASLR
code doesn't check EFI memory entries, and could choose a new kernel position
in non-mirrored regions. This will break the intended functionality of the
address range mirroring feature.

To fix this, if EFI is detected, iterate EFI memory map and pick the mirrored
region to process for adding candidate of randomization slot. If EFI is disabled
or no mirrored region found, still process the e820 memory map.
