firmware/efi: Add NULL pointer checks in efivars API functions
[ Upstream commit ab2180a15ce54739fed381efb4cb12e78dfb1561 ] Since commit: ce2e6db554fa ("brcmfmac: Add support for getting nvram contents from EFI variables") we have a device driver accessing the efivars API. Several functions in the efivars API assume __efivars is set, i.e., that they will be accessed only after efivars_register() has been called. However, the following NULL pointer access was reported calling efivar_entry_size() from the brcmfmac device driver: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 pgd = 60bfa5f1 [00000008] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM ...

So add a NULL pointer check to efivar_entry_size(), and to related functions while at it. In efivars_register() a couple of sanity checks are added as well.
