rmpiggy.S page-aligns both real_mode_blob and real_mode_blob_end. Their
difference is therefore already page-aligned and does not require
ALIGN() or PAGE_ALIGN().
Since the real-mode blob size is calculated in three different places,
add the real_mode_blob_size() helper and use it in
real_mode_size_needed(), setup_real_mode(), and
set_real_mode_permissions().
No functional change.
