setup_real_mode() copies the page-aligned size of the embedded real-mode
blob into low memory. However, real_mode_blob ends immediately before
real_mode_relocs, so the copy includes relocation data and potentially
other .init.data contents when the size of realmode.bin is not
page-aligned.
Pad real_mode_blob to a page boundary so the copy contains only the
real-mode binary and its padding.
Fixes: 084ee1c641a0 ("x86, realmode: Relocator for realmode code")
