x86/E820: don't overrun array

The bounds check needs to be done after the increment, not before, or
else it needs to use a one lower immediate. Also use word operations
rather than byte ones for both the increment and the compare (allowing
E820_BIOS_MAX to be more easily bumped, should the need ever arise).
