x86/efi: Don't try to reserve runtime regions
commit 6f6266a5 upstream. Reserving a runtime region results in splitting the EFI memory descriptors for the runtime region. This results in runtime region descriptors with bogus memory mappings, leading to interesting crashes like the following during a kexec: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.11.0-rc1 #53 Hardware name: Wiwynn Leopard-Orv2/Leopard-DDR BW, BIOS LBM05 09/30/2016 RIP: 0010:virt_efi_set_variable() ...

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception Runtime regions will not be freed and do not need to be reserved, so skip the memmap modification in this case.
