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.
It also moves the check for zero length entry early so that execution of
the handler can be avoided.

Hi Rafael,
As I mentioned earlier, this needs to be applied after Al's MADT changes
are merged. You might get simple conflicts in acpi_parse_entries.
This needs to be rebased on top of some patches in my linux-next branch.
It probably is better to rebase it on top of my bleeding-edge branch that
contains the Al's patches already, though.
I don't see Al's patches in your linux-next or bleeding-edge
Regards,
Sudeep
