Convert the magic numbers associated with PCI ROM into named
definitions. Some of these definitions will be used in the second
fix patch.

We meet a crash when running stress-ng on x86_64 machine:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffa0000007f40000
RIP: 0010:pci_get_rom_size+0x52/0x220
Call Trace:
<TASK>
pci_map_rom+0x80/0x130
pci_read_rom+0x4b/0xe0
kernfs_file_read_iter+0x96/0x180
vfs_read+0x1b1/0x300
Our analysis reveals that the ROM space's start address is
0xffa0000007f30000, and size is 0x10000. Because of broken ROM
space, before calling readl(pds), the pds's value is
0xffa0000007f3ffff, which is already pointed to the ROM space
end, invoking readl() would read 4 bytes therefore cause an
out-of-bounds access and trigger a crash.
Fix this by adding image header and data structure checking.
We also found another crash on arm64 machine:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
ffff8000dd1393ff
Mem abort info:
ESR = 0x0000000096000021
EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
SET = 0, FnV = 0
EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
FSC = 0x21: alignment fault
The call trace is the same with x86_64, but the crash reason is
that the data structure addr is not aligned with 4, and arm64
machine report "alignment fault". Fix this by adding alignment
checking.
Fixes: 47b975d234ea ("PCI: Avoid iterating through memory outside the resource window")

Hi Bjorn and Ilpo, Could you please review these two patches?
