[PATCH 1/1] efi_loader: fix building with CONFIG_EFI_VARIABLES_PRESEED=y

Since commit bd3f9ee679b4 ("kbuild: Bump the build system to 6.1")
out-of-tree builds with CONFIG_EFI_VARIABLES_PRESEED=y fail with errors
like:

    ../lib/efi_loader/efi_var_seed.S:14: Error: file not found:
    ubootefi.var

For out-of-tree build we cannot use CONFIG_EFI_VAR_SEED_FILE in the
.incbin statement of file efi_var_seed.S.

* We have to prepend $(srctree) if the path is relative.
* We must not prepend $(srctree) if the path is absolute.

Fixes: bd3f9ee679b4 ("kbuild: Bump the build system to 6.1")
