    That will be better initial the value of DataSize to zero for the input of
    GetVariable(), otherwise we will feed a random value. The debug log of input
    DataSize like this:
    
    ...
    [  195.915612] EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17
    [  195.915819] efi: size: 18446744071581821342
    [  195.915969] efi:  size': 18446744071581821342
    [  195.916324] efi: size: 18446612150714306560
    [  195.916632] efi:  size': 18446612150714306560

    The size' is value that was returned by BIOS.
    
    After applied this patch:
    [   82.442042] EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17
    [   82.442202] efi: size: 0
    [   82.442360] efi:  size': 1039
    [   82.443828] efi: size: 0
    [   82.444127] efi:  size': 2616
    [   82.447057] efi: size: 0
    [   82.447356] efi:  size': 5832
    ...
    
    Found on Acer Aspire V3 BIOS, it will not return the size of data if we input a
    non-zero DataSize.
