This patch creates efivars mount point when active efivars abstraction
be set. It is useful for userland to determine the availability of efivars
filesystem.
v2:
Using efivars_kobject() helper instead of checking GetVariable or
GetNextVariable EFI runtime services. Because the efivarfs code could be
instantiated using a different efivars abstraction.
