Sabrina Dubroca reported an early panic below, it was introduced by
commit 7b0a911478c7 ("efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code")
The cause is on this machine even for legacy boot firmware still provide
the ACPI BGRT table which should be EFI only. Thus the garbage bgrt data
caused the efi_bgrt_init panic.
Add a checking to skip efi_bgrt_init in case non EFI booting solves this
problem.
