The following commit:
223e3ee56f ("efi/x86: add headroom to decompressor BSS to account for setup block")
added headroom to the PE image to account for the setup block, which
wasn't used for the decompression buffer.
Now that the decompression buffer is located at the start of the image,
and includes the setup block, this is no longer required.
Add a check to make sure that the head section of the compressed kernel
won't overwrite itself while relocating. This is only for
future-proofing as with current limits on the setup and the actual size
of the head section, this can never happen.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
