efi_random_alloc() demands EFI_ALLOCATE_ADDRESS when allocate_pages(),
but the current implement can not ensure the selected target locates
inside free area, that is to exclude EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_*,
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_* etc.

Fix the issue by checking md->type.

This is wrong in 3 different ways:
- md->type is not a bitmask
- || is not bitwise but boolean
- get_entry_num_slots() ignores all memory types except
EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY anyway.

So what exactly are you trying to fix here?
