[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/3] efi: add protection for block_dev

Check the value of block_dev before to use this pointer.

This patch solves problem for the command "load" when ubifs
is previously mounted: in this case the function
blk_get_device_part_str("ubi 0") don't return error but return
block_dev = NULL and then data abort.

To reproduce the issue, I have a boot script 'boot.scr.uimg'
with a load command executed during ubi boot:

load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} ${m4fw_addr} ${m4fw_name}

I have a data abort for call stack:
- do_load_wrapper for "ubi 0"
-- efi_set_bootdev
--- efi_dp_from_name

=> desc = 0 and data abort for access to 'desc->*'

I also proposed a protection for the same issue in ums command
