x86 setup: fix ghost entries under /sys/firmware/edd take 3 

Some BIOSes do not indicate error when trying to read from non-
existing device. Zero buffer before reading and check that we
possibly have valid MBR by looking for MBR magic.

This was fixed in different way for edd.S in
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=114087765422490&w=2, but lost
again when edd.S was rewritten in C.
