[PATCH] efi_loader: esrt: Remove incorrect invocations of EFI_CALL macro

Remove function invocations using the EFI_CALL macro for those
functions that do not have an EFI_ENTRY call in their definition. Such
functions can use u-boot api's which rely on u-boot global data(gd)
pointer. The Arm and RiscV architectures maintain a separate gd
pointer, one for u-boot, and a separate gd for the efi application.

Calling a function through the EFI_CALL macro changes the gd pointer
to that used for the efi application, with u-boot gd being
unavailable. Any function then trying to dereference u-boot's gd will
result in an abort.

Fix this issue by removing the EFI_CALL macro for all of such
functions which do not begin by an EFI_ENTRY function call.

I have squashed the earlier patch[1] into this one. This patch should
supersede the earlier patch.
