In some cases, KUT guest might fail to exit boot services due to a
possible memory map update that might have taken place between
efi_get_memory_map() and efi_exit_boot_services() calls. As per UEFI
spec 2.10 (Section 7.4.6 EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.ExitBootServices()), we need
to update the memory map and retry call to exit boot
services.
