Yinghai Lu 46cb27f516 x86: check range in reserve_early()

Impact: cleanup

one 32-bit system reports:

BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)

  bootmap 00002000 - 00005800
(9 early reservations) ==> bootmem [0000000000 - 001c000000]
  #0 [0000000000 - 0000001000]   BIOS data page ==> [0000000000 - 0000001000]
  #1 [0000001000 - 0000002000]    EX TRAMPOLINE ==> [0000001000 - 0000002000]
  #2 [0000006000 - 0000007000]       TRAMPOLINE ==> [0000006000 - 0000007000]
  #3 [0000400000 - 00009ed14c]    TEXT DATA BSS ==> [0000400000 - 00009ed14c]
  #4 [001bc69000 - 001bfef4fa]          RAMDISK ==> [001bc69000 - 001bfef4fa]
  #5 [00009ee000 - 00009f2000]    INIT_PG_TABLE ==> [00009ee000 - 00009f2000]
  #6 [000009f400 - 0000100000]    BIOS reserved ==> [000009f400 - 0000100000]
  #7 [0000007000 - 0000007000]          PGTABLE
  #8 [0000002000 - 0000006000]          BOOTMAP ==> [0000002000 - 0000006000]

Notice the strange blank PGTABLE entry.

The reason is init_pg_table is big enough, and zero range is called
with init_memory_mapping/reserve_early().

So try to check the range in reserve_early()

v2: fix the reversed compare
