x86/efistub: Revert to heap allocated boot_params for PE entrypoint
This is a partial revert of commit 8117961d98f ("x86/efi: Disregard setup header of loaded image") which triggers boot issues on older Dell laptops. As it turns out, switching back to a heap allocation for the struct boot_params constructed by the EFI stub works around this, even though it is unclear why.
