multiboot: validate multiboot header address values
While loading kernel via multiboot-v1 image, (flags & 0x00010000) indicates that multiboot header contains valid addresses to load the kernel image. These addresses are used to compute kernel size and kernel text offset in the OS image. Validate these address values to avoid an OOB access issue. This is CVE-2017-14167.
