[PATCH] efi_loader: Check for pointers before appending to the eventlog

The TCG protocol returns EFI_SUCCESS even when it fails to install.
If the protocol is not installed there should be no calls to
tcg2_agile_log_append().  However there are calls to this function
occurring outside the TCG protocol invocation (e.g tcg2_measure_pe_image).

Let's deal with this and shield the code from crashing while complaining,
so buggy code can be spotted and fixed.
