More EFI fixes for v5.10-rc:
- revert efivarfs kmemleak fix again - it was a false positive;
- make CONFIG_EFI_EARLYCON depend on CONFIG_EFI explicitly so it does not
pull in other dependencies unnecessarily if CONFIG_EFI is not set
- defer attempts to load SSDT overrides from EFI vars until after the
efivar layer is up.
efi: EFI_EARLYCON should depend on EFI
CONFIG_EFI_EARLYCON defaults to yes, and thus is enabled on systems that
do not support EFI, or do not have EFI support enabled, but do satisfy
the symbol's other dependencies.
While drivers/firmware/efi/ won't be entered during the build phase if
CONFIG_EFI=n, and drivers/firmware/efi/earlycon.c itself thus won't be
built, enabling EFI_EARLYCON does force-enable CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT and
CONFIG_ARCH_USE_MEMREMAP_PROT, and CONFIG_FONT_8x16, which is
undesirable.
Fix this by making CONFIG_EFI_EARLYCON depend on CONFIG_EFI.
This reduces kernel size on headless systems by more than 4 KiB.
