Subject: [PATCH] efi: pstore: Return proper errors on UEFI failures

Right now efi-pstore either returns 0 (success) or -EIO; but we
do have a function to convert UEFI errors in different standard
error codes, helping to narrow down potential issues more accurately.

So, let's use this helper here.
