[PATCH] FAST_CWD: adjust the initial search scope

A *very* recent Windows build adds more code to the preamble of
RtlGetCurrentDirectory_U() so that the previous heuristic failed to find
the call to the locking routine.

This only affects the 64-bit version of ntdll, where the 0xe8 byte is
now found at offset 40, not the 32-bit version. However, let's just
double the area we search for said byte for good measure.
