Krystian Hebel 5ba17d5ccb security/memory_clear: fix wrong size of reserved memory range
The code used to reserve MEMSET_PAE_PGTL_SIZE (20 KiB) for page used
for clearing the memory above 4 GiB that was assumed to be 2 MiB page.
memset_pae() checks only the alignment and not the size of this region,
so no error was reported by it.

In most cases this reserved memory in 2-4 MiB range, and because this
range isn't usually used by coreboot (architectural stuff is located in
lower 1 MiB, coreboot tables and ramstage are close to TOLUM and payload
isn't yet loaded when the broken code is executed), it never caused any
problems.

Change MEMSET_PAE_PGTL_SIZE to MEMSET_PAE_VMEM_SIZE and fix wrong macro
definition to reserve properly sized region.
