To start the EFI variable search with GetNextVariableName(), the first call of
efi_get_next_variable_name_int() requires a pointer to the
Null-terminated string
and non-zero buffer size.
So var_name16 = NULL, buf_size = 0 setup will not work as expected,
efi_get_next_variable_name_int() returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER in this case.

var_name16 should be allocated by a caller as described above,
let me keep the current code.
