efi: Fix handling of multiple efi_fake_mem= entries

Dave noticed that when specifying multiple efi_fake_mem= entries only
the last entry was successfully being reflected in the efi memory map.
This is due to the fact that the efi_memmap_insert() is being called
multiple times, but on successive invocations the insertion should be
applied to the last new memmap rather than the original map at
efi_fake_memmap() entry.

Rework efi_fake_memmap() to install the new memory map after each
efi_fake_mem= entry is parsed.

This also fixes an issue in efi_fake_memmap() that caused it to litter
emtpy entries into the end of the efi memory map. An empty entry causes
efi_memmap_insert() to attempt more memmap splits / copies than
efi_memmap_split_count() accounted for when sizing the new map. When
that happens efi_memmap_insert() may overrun its allocation, and if you
are lucky will spill over to an unmapped page leading to crash
signature like the following rather than silent corruption:

Commit af1648984828 "x86/efi: Update e820 with reserved EFI boot
services data to fix kexec breakage" introduced more occurrences where
efi_memmap_insert() is invoked after an efi_fake_mem= configuration has
been parsed. Previously the side effects of vestigial empty entries were
benign, but with commit af1648984828 that follow-on efi_memmap_insert()
invocation triggers efi_memmap_insert() overruns.
