From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>
The function efi_query_variable_store() may be invoked by
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking(), which itself takes care to only call
a non-blocking version of the SetVariable() runtime wrapper. However,
efi_query_variable_store() may call the SetVariable() wrapper directly,
as well as the wrapper for QueryVariableInfo(), both of which could
deadlock in the same way we are trying to prevent by calling
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking() in the first place.
So instead, modify efi_query_variable_store() to use the non-blocking
variants of QueryVariableInfo() (and give up rather than free up space
if the available space is below EFI_MIN_RESERVE) if invoked with the
'nonblocking' argument set to true.
