[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 2/7] efi_loader: Fix memory map size check to avoid out-of-bounds access

Do not overwrite the specified size of the provided buffer without
having checked it is sufficient.

If the buffer is to small, memory_map_size is updated to indicate the
required size, and an error code is returned.
