[x86 setup] Correct the SMAP check for INT 0x15, AX=0xe820
The e820 probe code was checking %edx, not %eax, for the SMAP signature on return. This worked on *almost* all systems, since %edx still contained SMAP from the call on entry, but on a handful of systems it failed -- plus, we would have missed real mismatches. The error output is "=d" to make sure gcc knows %edx is clobbered here. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
