    hvm/load: correct length checks for zeroextended records
    
    In the case that Xen is attempting to load a zeroextended HVM record where 
the
    difference needing extending would overflow the data blob, 
_hvm_check_entry()
    will incorrectly fail before working out that it would have been safe.
    
    The "len + sizeof(*d)" check is wrong.  Consider zeroextending a 16 byte
    record into a 32 byte structure.  "32 + hdr" will fail the overall context
    length check even though the pre-extended record in the stream is 16 bytes.
    
    The first condition is reduced to just a length check for hvm save header,
    while the second condition is extended to include a check that the record in
    the stream not exceeding the stream length.
    
    The error messages are extended to include further useful information.
