[PATCH] EFI, /dev/mem: simplify efi_mem_attribute_range()

Pass the size, not a pointer to the size, to efi_mem_attribute_range().

This function validates memory regions for the /dev/mem read/write/mmap paths.
The pointer allows arches to reduce the size of the range, but I think that's
unnecessary complexity.  Simplifying it will let me use
efi_mem_attribute_range() to improve the ia64 ioremap() implementation.
