arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: eliminate bubble sort from sanitize_e820_map

Replace the bubble sort in sanitize_e820_map() with a call to the generic
kernel sort function to avoid pathological performance with large maps.

On large (thousands of entries) E820 maps, the previous code took minutes
to run; with this change it's now milliseconds.
