* Can such exception handling depend on the data structure member “efi.runtime_supported_mask”?

* An imperative wording would be preferred for the change description
  (besides another bit of fine-tuning), wouldn't it?

* Will the tag “Fixes” become helpful for the commit message?

How do you think about to use the following statements instead
in the if branch?

-		return -ENOMEM;
+		error = -ENOMEM;
+		goto destroy_workqueue;
