acpi_parse_entries passes the table end pointer to the sub-table entry

This patch adds the validation of the sub-table entry end using the
length field.This will help to eliminate the need to pass the table end
to the handlers.

I will respin the patch as per your suggestion but needs to go only
after Al's MADT patches.
Alternately we can retain passing table_end to the handlers for now.
Once Al's MADT series removes those BAD_GIC_ENTRY macros, there will be
no users of that second argument in subtable handlers and it can be
completely removed. Let me know your thoughts.
