multiboot: Reject kernels exceeding the address space

The code path where mh_load_end_addr is non-zero in the Multiboot
header checks that mh_load_end_addr >= mh_load_addr and so
mb_load_size is checked.  However, mb_load_size is not checked when
calculated from the file size, when mh_load_end_addr is 0.

If the kernel binary size is larger than can fit in the address space
after load_addr, we ended up with a kernel_size that is smaller than
load_size, which means that we read the file into a too small buffer.

Add a check to reject kernel files with such Multiboot headers.
