x86/efi: Don't allocate memmap through memblock after mm_init()
With the following commit: 4bc9f92e64c8 ("x86/efi-bgrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() to avoid copying image data") ... efi_bgrt_init() calls into the memblock allocator through efi_mem_reserve() => efi_arch_mem_reserve() *after* mm_init() has been called. Indeed, KASAN reports a bad read access later on in efi_free_boot_services(): BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in efi_free_boot_services+0xae/0x24c at addr ffff88022de12740 Read of size 4 by task swapper/0/0 page:ffffea0008b78480 count:0 mapcount:-127 mapping: (null) index:0x1 flags: 0x5fff8000000000() [...] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x9f kasan_report_error+0x4c8/0x500 kasan_report+0x58/0x60 __asan_load4+0x61/0x80 efi_free_boot_services+0xae/0x24c start_kernel+0x527/0x562 x86_64_start_reservations+0x24/0x26 x86_64_start_kernel+0x157/0x17a start_cpu+0x5/0x14 The instruction at the given address is the first read from the memmap's memory, i.e. the read of md->type in efi_free_boot_services(). Note that the writes earlier in efi_arch_mem_reserve() don't splat because they're done through early_memremap()ed addresses. So, after memblock is gone, allocations should be done through the "normal" page allocator. Introduce a helper, efi_memmap_alloc() for this. Use it from efi_arch_mem_reserve(), efi_free_boot_services() and, for the sake of consistency, from efi_fake_memmap() as well. Note that for the latter, the memmap allocations cease to be page aligned. This isn't needed though.
