x86/boot: Move EFI range reservation after cmdline parsing

The memory reservation in arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c depends on at
least two command line parameters. Put it back later in the boot process
and move efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range() out of early_memory_reserve().

An attempt to fix this was done in

  8d48bf8206f7 ("x86/boot: Pull up cmdline preparation and early param parsing")

but that caused other troubles so it got reverted.

The bug this is addressing is:

Dan reports that Anjaneya Chagam can no longer use the efi=nosoftreserve
kernel command line parameter to suppress "soft reservation" behavior.

This is due to the fact that the following call-chain happens at boot:

  early_reserve_memory
  |-> efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range
      |-> efi_fake_memmap_early

which does

        if (!efi_soft_reserve_enabled())
                return;

and that would have set EFI_MEM_NO_SOFT_RESERVE after having parsed
"nosoftreserve".

However, parse_early_param() gets called *after* it, leading to the boot
cmdline not being taken into account.
