Subject: [PATCH] x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c: fix problem in efi_ioremap in case of a failure in init_memory_mapping.

In the case that init_memory_mapping failed, returning a NULL, simply return.
An attempt to recursively invoke efi_io_remap could result in mapping of a
wrong range, 0 to size + physaddr, instead of the intended physaddr to
physaddr + size - 1 range.
