[RFC] efi_driver: fix a parent issue in efi-created block devices

An EFI application may create an EFI block device (EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL) in
EFI world, which in turn generates a corresponding U-Boot block device based on
U-Boot's Driver Model.
The latter device, however, doesn't work as U-Boot proper block device
due to an issue in efi_driver's implementation. We saw discussions in the past,
most recently in [1].
[1] https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2023-July/522565.html
This RFC patch tries to address (part of) the issue.
If it is considered acceptable, I will create a formal patch.
Withtout this patch,

With this patch applied, efiblk#0(:1) now gets accessible.
