efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfs
Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa. Furthermore, things like, mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.

+ tristate "EFI Variable filesystem"
+ depends on EFI_VARS
+ help
+ efivarfs is a replacement filesystem for the old EFI
+ variable support via sysfs, as it doesn't suffer from the
+ same 1024-byte variable size limit.
+
+ To compile this file system support as a module, choose M
+ here. The module will be called efivarfs.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
