x86: Don't check for BIOS corruption in first 64K when there's no need to 

Due to commit 781c5a67f1 it is
likely that the number of areas to scan for BIOS corruption is 0
 -- especially when the first 64K is already reserved
(X86_RESERVE_LOW is 64K by default).

If that's the case then don't set up the scan.
