From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@xxxxxxxxx>
ExitBootServices() can legitimately fail if any of the event handlers
that are signaled by its invocation change the memory map. In that case,
we need to get the memory map and exit boot services again. Only retry
once so that we don't get stuck if ExitBootServices() is returning a
genuine error value.
