[PATCH v3 1/1] efi_driver: don't bind internal block devices

UEFI block devices can either mirror U-Boot's internal devices or be
provided by an EFI application like iPXE.
When ConnectController() is invoked for the EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL
interface for such an application provided device we create a virtual
U-Boot block device of type "efi_blk".
Currently we do not call ConnectController() when handles for U-Boot's
internal block devices are created. If an EFI application calls
ConnectController() for a handle relating to an internal block device,
we erroneously create an extra "efi_blk" block device.
E.g. the UEFI shell has a command 'connect -r' which calls
ConnectController() for all handles with device path protocol.
In the Supported() method of our EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL return
EFI_UNSUPPORTED when dealing with an U-Boot internal device.
