Fix integer overflow in various CreateHob instances.
Fixes: CVE-2022-36765
The CreateHob() function aligns the requested size to 8
performing the following operation:
```
HobLength = (UINT16)((HobLength + 0x7) & (~0x7));
```
No checks are performed to ensure this value doesn't
overflow, and could lead to CreateHob() returning a smaller
HOB than requested, which could lead to OOB HOB accesses.

Same as the other patch: this needs a signoff from the sender, not the
author of the patch.
