x86/boot/compressed/64: Fix boot on machines with broken E820 table

BIOS on Samsung 500C Chromebook reports very rudimentary E820 table that
consists of 2 entries:

  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000fff] usable
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fffff000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved

It breaks logic in find_trampoline_placement(): bios_start lands on the
end of the first 4k page and trampoline start gets placed below 0.

Detect underflow and don't touch bios_start for such cases. It makes
kernel ignore E820 table on machines that doesn't have two usable pages
below BIOS_START_MAX.

Fixes: 1b3a6264
