From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@xxxxxxxxx> Invoking efi_runtime_services() through efi_workqueue means all accesses to efi_runtime_services() should be done after efi_rts_wq has been created. efi_delete_dummy_variable() calls set_variable(), hence efi_delete_dummy_variable() should be called after efi_rts_wq has been created. efi_delete_dummy_variable() is called from efi_enter_virtual_mode() which is early in the boot phase (efi_rts_wq isn't created yet), so call efi_delete_dummy_variable() later in the boot phase i.e. while initializing efi subsystem. In the next patch, this is the place where we create efi_rts_wq and all the efi_runtime_services() will be called using efi_rts_wq.
