x86, setup: mark %esi as clobbered in E820 BIOS call

upstream commit: 01522df346f846906eaf6ca57148641476209909

Jordan Hargrave diagnosed a BIOS clobbering %esi in the E820 call.
That particular BIOS has been fixed, but there is a possibility that
this is responsible for other occasional reports of early boot
failure, and it does not hurt to add %esi to the clobbers.

-stable candidate patch.
