[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] efi_loader: efi_set_watchdog_timer return EFI_SUCCESS

The UEFI standard requires a watchdog timer that is preset to
five minutes. After this period the system is reset.

The watchdog shall be disabled by ExitBootServices.

An EFI application can call efi_set_watchdog_timer to either
reset the watchdog timer or disable it. This may be necessary
if the EFI application has an interactive interface which may
be used for more than five minutes, e.g. the grub console.

U-Boot currently does not implement this watchdog.

If efi_set_watchdog_timer is called to reset the watchdog we
can safely return EFI_SUCCESS to signal that we will not
interrupt the EFI application in the timeout interval.
