[PATCH 1/1] efi_loader: initialize console size late

From: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk at gmx.de>

If CONFIG_VIDEO_DM=n we query the display size from the serial console.
Especially when using a remote console the response can be so late that
it interferes with autoboot.

Only query the console size when running an EFI binary.

Add debug output showing the determined console size.
