In my understanding, a problem reported initially is that WARN_ON() in create_sysfs_entries() hits because
multiple sysfs entries of a same variable name are created.

On the other hand, in efivar_update_sysfs_entries(), the WARN_ON never hits because
If a variable is already present, create_sysfs_entries() is never called.

If there is a case where GetNextVariableName() never terminates, I agree that efivar_update_sysfs_entries()
should be protected from that .
But I'm not sure if the case is related to a bug in this thread..
