efivars: respect EFI_UNSUPPORTED return from firmware
commit 483028edacab374060d93955382b4865a9e07cba upstream. As per UEFI spec 2.8B section 8.2, EFI_UNSUPPORTED may be returned by EFI variable runtime services if no variable storage is supported by firmware. In this case, there is no point for kernel to continue efivars initialization. That said, efivar_init() should fail by returning an error code, so that efivarfs will not be mounted on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars at all. Otherwise, user space like efibootmgr will be confused by the EFIVARFS_MAGIC seen there, while EFI variable calls cannot be made successfully.
