[PATCH 5.9 208/255] bootconfig: Extend the magic check range to the preceding 3 bytes

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

commit 50b8a742850fce7293bed45753152c425f7e931b upstream.

Since Grub may align the size of initrd to 4 if user pass
initrd from cpio, we have to check the preceding 3 bytes as well.
