After adding __no_sanitize_address, gcc doesn't inline efi_enabled() on
a KASAN build, even when CONFIG_EFI is disabled, and the function is
just
	return false;
and so it isn't optimizing out the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode().

Making efi_enabled() __always_inline fixes this, but not sure if that is
the correct fix?
