Ard Biesheuvel 59365cadfb efi/x86: Fix boot regression on systems with invalid memmap entries
In efi_clean_memmap(), we do a pass over the EFI memory map to remove
bogus entries that may be returned on certain systems.

This recent commit:

  1db91035d0 ("efi: Add tracking for dynamically allocated memmaps")

refactored this code to pass the input to efi_memmap_install() via a
temporary struct on the stack, which is populated using an initializer
which inadvertently defines the value of its size field in terms of its
desc_size field, which value cannot be relied upon yet in the initializer
itself.

Fix this by using efi.memmap.desc_size instead, which is where we get
the value for desc_size from in the first place.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
