Okay, but I believe that we need duplicate device_path here
before installing it as EFI_LOADED_IMAGE_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL_GUID.

See this line:

Normally, device_path is expected to be already associated with
another handle. We should not allow two handles to share one protocol(data).
That is also why I initially believed that add_protocol() should be removed.
