x86/boot: Fix incorrect startup_gdt_descr.size

Since the size value is added to the base address to yield the last valid
byte address of the GDT, the current size value of startup_gdt_descr is
incorrect (too large by one), fix it.

[ mingo: This probably never mattered, because startup_gdt[] is only used
in a very controlled fashion - but make it consistent nevertheless. ]
