[PATCH] efi_net: add missing EFI_CALL in efi_net

The efi_reinstall_protocol_interface() function is a UEFI function;
make sure to call it from within U-Boot using the EFI_CALL() macro.

This fixes the following assertion:

  lib/efi_loader/efi_boottime.c:3752: efi_reinstall_protocol_interface: Assertion `__efi_entry_check()' failed.

To reproduce the issue, define LOG_DEBUG in lib/efi_loader/efi_boottime.c
and build u-boot for your platform. Then, boot the U-Boot helloworld.efi
application over the network. Example commands (adjust the URL and boot
entry number):

  => efidebug boot add -u 0 net http://10.0.2.2:8000/helloworld.efi
  => efidebug boot order 0
  => bootefi bootmgr
