efi: Check for NULL efi kernel parameters

Even though it is documented how to specifiy efi parameters, it is
possible to cause a kernel panic due to a dereference of a NULL pointer when
parsing such parameters if "efi" alone is given:

This panic is not reproducible with "efi=" as this will result in a non-NULL
zero-length string.

Thus, verify that the pointer to the parameter string is not NULL. This is
consistent with other parameter-parsing functions which check for NULL pointers.
