REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577
Currently the SmmIsBufferOutsideSmmValid() function in SmmMemLib.c will
ASSERT in certain conditions. Since this function is a "test" function,
it should not be making decisions on how to handle a failure.
Handling a failure should be left to the caller.
This patch is to remove ASSERT(FALSE) at line 178 of SmmMemLib.c.

This patch adds more check in SmmIsBufferOutsideSmmValid(), to make sure that
SMM communication buffer is only EfiReservedMemoryType/EfiRuntimeServicesCode/
EfiRuntimeServicesData/EfiACPIMemoryNVS. So that the communication buffer will
not touch any OS memory.
The assumption is that a platform reports valid SMM communication buffer at
EndOfDxe, because EndOfDxe is last hook point that SMM code can call-out to
get memory map information.
A platform MUST finish SMM communication buffer allocation before EndOfDxe.
If a DXE or OS driver need do communication after EndOfDxe, it can either
allocate SMM communication buffer before EndOfDxe and save it, or consume
EDKII_PI_SMM_COMMUNICATION_REGION_TABLE table to get general fixed comm buffer.
This is designed to meet Microsoft WSMT table definition on FIXED_COMM_BUFFERS
requirement.
