efi: Use a work queue to invoke EFI Runtime Services

Presently, when a user process requests the kernel to execute any
UEFI runtime service, the kernel temporarily switches to a separate
set of page tables that describe the virtual mapping of the UEFI
runtime services regions in memory. Since UEFI runtime services are
typically invoked with interrupts enabled, any code that may be called
during this time, will have an incorrect view of the process's address
space. Although it is unusual for code running in interrupt context to
make assumptions about the process context it runs in, there are cases
(such as the perf subsystem taking samples) where this causes problems.

So let's set up a work queue for calling UEFI runtime services, so that
the actual calls are made when the work queue items are dispatched by a
work queue worker running in a separate kernel thread. Such threads are
not expected to have userland mappings in the first place, and so the
additional mappings created for the UEFI runtime services can never
clash with any.

The ResetSystem() runtime service is not covered by the work queue
handling, since it is not expected to return, and may be called at a
time when the kernel is torn down to the point where we cannot expect
work queues to still be operational.

The non-blocking variants of SetVariable() and QueryVariableInfo()
are also excluded: these are intended to be used from atomic context,
which obviously rules out waiting for a completion to be signalled by
another thread. Note that these variants are currently only used for
UEFI runtime services calls that occur very early in the boot, and
for ones that occur in critical conditions, e.g., to flush kernel logs
to UEFI variables via efi-pstore.
