efi: Add nonblocking option to efi_query_variable_store()
The function efi_query_variable_store() may be invoked by
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking(), which itself takes care to only
call a non-blocking version of the SetVariable() runtime
wrapper. However, efi_query_variable_store() may call the
SetVariable() wrapper directly, as well as the wrapper for
QueryVariableInfo(), both of which could deadlock in the same
way we are trying to prevent by calling
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking() in the first place.
So instead, modify efi_query_variable_store() to use the
non-blocking variants of QueryVariableInfo() (and give up rather
than free up space if the available space is below
EFI_MIN_RESERVE) if invoked with the 'nonblocking' argument set
to true.
