Subject: [PATCH 01/12] efi/arm*: Only register page tables when they exist

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

Currently the arm/arm64 runtime code registers the runtime servies
pagetables with ptdump regardless of whether runtime services page
tables have been created.

As efi_mm.pgd is NULL in these cases, attempting to dump the efi page
tables results in a NULL pointer dereference in the ptdump code:

Segmentation fault

Let's avoid this problem by only registering the tables after their
successful creation, which is also less confusing when EFI runtime
services are not in use.
