[PATCH] efi_loader: Avoid emitting efi_var_buf to .GOT

[Ilias Apalodimas]

Atish reports than on RISC-V, accessing the EFI variables causes
a kernel panic. An objdump of the file verifies that, since the
global pointer for efi_var_buf ends up in .GOT section which is
not mapped in virtual address space for Linux.

* objdump -t
0000000000000008 l     O .data.efi_runtime  0000000000000008 efi_var_buf

On arm64 this works, because there's no .GOT entries for this
and everything is converted to relative references.

* objdump -dr (identical pre-post patch, only the new function shows up)

  d0:   b940100c    ldr w12, [x0, #16]
  d4:   8b0c000c    add x12, x0, x12

So let's switch efi_var_buf to static and create a helper function for
anyone that needs to update it.

Atish can you give it a spin and let me know if this fixes the issue for you?
The objdump seems to be correct now, but I am not familiar with RISC-V.
No regressions on Arm with TEE or memory backed variables.
