priv.runtime_map is only allocated when efi_novamap is not set.
Otherwise, it is an uninitialized value.
In the error path, it is freed unconditionally.
Avoid passing an uninitialized value to free_pool.
Free priv.runtime_map only when it was allocated.
This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
