This patch fixes my recent patch
"loader.efi: reduce the size of the staging area if necessary", which
causes EFI-boot failure on physical machines since Mar 2:
on the host there is a 1MB LoaderData memory range, which splits
the big Conventional Memory range into a small one (15MB) and a
big one: the small one is too small to hold the staging area.
We can actually use the LoaderData range safely, because when
amd64_tramp -> efi_copy_finish() starts to run, we're almost at
the very end of the efi loader code and we're going to "return"
to the kernel entry, so we're pretty sure we won't access any loader
data any more.
For people who are interested in the details: please see

PS, some people also reported the regression happened to FreeBSD VM
running on Bhyve in EFI mode. This patch should resolve it too,
though I don't have such a setup to test.
