btrfs: Move ldlinux.sys to Boot Area B
ldlinux.sys is frequently too big to fit into Boot Area A (64K). Per
a recent ruling by Chris Mason, we have a 768K Boot Area B at offset
256K, so use that to store ldlinux.sys. In theory we could split it
up and make it slightly larger, however, ldlinux.sys is loaded below
the 640K mark so it has to be smaller than that size anyway.
