efi_loader: Don't allocate from memory holes

When a payload calls our memory allocator with the exact address hint, we
happily allocate memory from completely unpopulated regions. Payloads however
expect this to only succeed if they would be allocating from free conventional
memory.

This patch makes the logic behind those checks a bit more obvious and ensures
that we always allocate from known good free conventional memory regions if we
want to allocate ram.
