I don't see any codes which setup efi.runtime_version in uefi_init().

Since xen_guest_init() and arm_enable_runtime_services() are both
early_initcall and the calling order is random I think. And when we call
xen_efi_runtime_setup() and setup efi.runtime_version in
xen_guest_init(), the efi.systab might be NULL. So it needs to map the
systanle explicitly before we use efi.systab.
