x86/mm: Make e820__end_ram_pfn() cover E820_TYPE_ACPI ranges
e820__end_of_ram_pfn() is used to calculate max_pfn which, among other things,
guides where direct mapping ends. Any memory above max_pfn is not going to be
present in the direct mapping.
e820__end_of_ram_pfn() finds the end of the RAM based on the highest
E820_TYPE_RAM range. But it doesn't includes E820_TYPE_ACPI ranges into
calculation.
Despite the name, E820_TYPE_ACPI covers not only ACPI data, but also EFI tables
and might be required by kernel to function properly.
Usually the problem is hidden because there is some E820_TYPE_RAM memory above
E820_TYPE_ACPI. But crashkernel only presents pre-allocated crash memory as
E820_TYPE_RAM on boot. If the pre-allocated range is small, it can fit under the
last E820_TYPE_ACPI range.
Modify e820__end_of_ram_pfn() and e820__end_of_low_ram_pfn() to cover
E820_TYPE_ACPI memory.
The problem was discovered during debugging kexec for TDX guest. TDX guest uses
E820_TYPE_ACPI to store the unaccepted memory bitmap and pass it between the
kernels on kexec.
