efivarfs: fix statfs() on efivarfs
[ Upstream commit 79b83606abc778aa3cbee535b362ce905d0b9448 ]
Some firmware (notably U-Boot) provides GetVariable() and
GetNextVariableName() but not QueryVariableInfo().
With commit d86ff3333cb1 ("efivarfs: expose used and total size") the
statfs syscall was broken for such firmware.
If QueryVariableInfo() does not exist or returns EFI_UNSUPPORTED, just
report the file system size as 0 as statfs_simple() previously did.
Fixes: d86ff3333cb1 ("efivarfs: expose used and total size")
