Subject: hw/core/loader: Fix possible crash in rom_copy()

Git-commit: e423455c4f23a1a828901c78fe6d03b7dde79319
References: bsc#1172478, CVE-2020-13765

Both, "rom->addr" and "addr" are derived from the binary image
that can be loaded with the "-kernel" paramer. The code in
rom_copy() then calculates:

d = dest + (rom->addr - addr);

and uses "d" as destination in a memcpy() some lines later. Now with
bad kernel images, it is possible that rom->addr is smaller than addr,
thus "rom->addr - addr" gets negative and the memcpy() then tries to
copy contents from the image to a bad memory location. This could
maybe be used to inject code from a kernel image into the QEMU binary,
so we better fix it with an additional sanity check here.
