efi/bgrt: Skip efi_bgrt_init() in case of non-EFI boot
Sabrina Dubroca reported an early panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffff240001 IP: efi_bgrt_init+0xdc/0x134 [...] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! ... which was introduced by: 7b0a911478c7 ("efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code") The cause is that on this machine the firmware provides the EFI ACPI BGRT table even on legacy non-EFI bootups - which table should be EFI only. The garbage BGRT data causes the efi_bgrt_init() panic. Add a check to skip efi_bgrt_init() in case non-EFI bootup to work around this firmware bug.
