Similar to the other patches, we could simply do
#define arch_efi_call_virt(p, f, args...) \
__efi_rt_asm_wrapper((p)->f, #f, args)
here.
Note, though, that the second argument stringifies the struct field
name, which will contain "handler_addr" in the case of PRM, but this
is fine (we shouldn't hit that diagnostic for new code anyway, as it
is only used to check whether X18 was corrupted by the firmware)
