efi/x86: Prevent reentrant firmware calls in mixed mode
The UEFI spec does not permit runtime services to be called reentrantly, and so it is up to the OS to provide proper locking around such calls. For the native case, this was fixed a long time ago, but for the mixed mode case, no locking is done whatsoever. Note that the calls are made with preemption and interrupts disabled, so only SMP configurations are affected by this issue. So add a spinlock and grab it when invoking a UEFI runtime service in mixed mode. We will also need to provide non-blocking versions of SetVariable() and QueryVariableInfo(), so add those as well.
