Subject: efi: Make for_each_efi_memory_desc_in_map() cope with running on Xen
From: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>
commit d4c4fed08f31f3746000c46cb1b20bed2959547a upstream.
While commit 55f1ea15216 ("efi: Fix for_each_efi_memory_desc_in_map()
for empty memmaps") made an attempt to deal with empty memory maps, it
didn't address the case where the map field never gets set, as is
apparently the case when running under Xen.
