[PATCH] efi-pstore: Fix read iter after pstore API refactor

[Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

During the internal pstore API refactoring, the EFI vars read entry was
accidentally made to update a stack variable instead of the pstore
private data pointer. This corrects the problem (and removes the now
needless argument).
