In efi_call_phys_prolog(), save_pgd is allocated by kmalloc_array(). And it is dereferenced in the following codes. However, memory allocation functions such as kmalloc_array() may fail. Dereferencing this save_pgd null pointer may cause the kernel go wrong. Thus we should check this allocation. Further, if efi_call_phys_prolog() returns NULL, we should abort the process in phys_efi_set_virtual_address_map(), and return EFI_ABORTED.
