rS305178: bd_int13probe() should check extended info if sector info is bad

Summary

Joyent found the issue with some Dell systems and specific USB sticks,
where UEFI+BIOS emulation is reporting bad sector data from INT13 AH=08.

This patch will allow int13 EDD info to be probed and will try to
use EDD info.

Also, the grub2 has note that some BIOS does return total sectors 0 from EDD,
this should be checked and computed size is used, if needed.
