efi/memattr: Fix thinko in table size sanity check
While it is true that each PE/COFF runtime driver in memory can generally be split into 3 different regions (the header, the code/rodata region and the data/bss region), each with different permissions, it does not mean that 3x the size of the memory map is a suitable upper bound. This is due to the fact that all runtime drivers could be coalesced into a single EFI runtime code region by the firmware, and if the firmware does a good job of keeping the fragmentation down, it is conceivable that the memory attributes table has more entries than the EFI memory map itself. So instead, base the sanity check on whether the descriptor size matches the EFI memory map's descriptor size closely enough (which is not mandated by the spec but extremely unlikely to differ in practice), and whether the size of the whole table does not exceed 64k entries.
