x86: fix boot hang in early_reserve_e820()
If the first non-reserved (sub-)range doesn't fit the size requested, an endless loop will be entered. If a range returned from find_e820_area_size() turns out insufficient in size, the range must be skipped before calling the function again. [ Impact: fixes boot hang on some platforms ] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
