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
They were there, but I've dropped them due to a 0-day testing failure.
Yes I guess we did see this last week, I had ask Al to fix it privately.
It was some discrepancy with ACPIv1.0 specification between different
sections that resulted in failures I saw.
I think your patches depend on the Al's ones, is that correct?
Correct, I think it's easier if I wait for his patches.
Regards,
Sudeep
