efi/x86: Prevent reentrant firmware calls in mixed mode

Browse source

The UEFI spec does not permit runtime services to be called
reentrantly, and so it is up to the OS to provide proper locking
around such calls.

For the native case, this was fixed a long time ago, but for the
mixed mode case, no locking is done whatsoever. Note that the calls
are made with preemption and interrupts disabled, so only SMP
configurations are affected by this issue.

So add a spinlock and grab it when invoking a UEFI runtime service
in mixed mode. We will also need to provide non-blocking versions
of SetVariable() and QueryVariableInfo(), so add those as well.
