OvmfPkg: allocate the EFI memory map for Linux as Loader Data

In Linux, efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range() and efi_reserve_boot_services()
expect that whoever allocates the EFI memmap allocates it in Loader Data
type memory. Linux's own exit_boot()-->low_alloc() complies, but
SetupLinuxMemmap() in LoadLinuxLib doesn't.

The memory type discrepancy leads to efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range() and
efi_reserve_boot_services() both trying to reserve the range backing the
memmap, resulting in memmap entry truncation in
efi_reserve_boot_services().

This fix also makes this allocation consistent with all other persistent
allocations in  "OvmfPkg/Library/LoadLinuxLib/Linux.c".
