Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/efi: don't allocate memmap through memblock after mm_init()

With commit 4bc9f92e64c8 ("x86/efi-bgrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() to avoid
copying image data"), efi_bgrt_init() calls into the memblock allocator
through efi_mem_reserve() => efi_arch_mem_reserve() *after* mm_init()
has been called.

Indeed, KASAN reports a bad read access later on in
efi_free_boot_services():

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in efi_free_boot_services+0xae/0x24c
            at addr ffff88022de12740
  Read of size 4 by task swapper/0/0
  page:ffffea0008b78480 count:0 mapcount:-127
  mapping:          (null) index:0x1 flags: 0x5fff8000000000()
  [...]
  Call Trace:
   dump_stack+0x68/0x9f
   kasan_report_error+0x4c8/0x500
   kasan_report+0x58/0x60

   x86_64_start_kernel+0x157/0x17a
   start_cpu+0x5/0x14

The instruction at the given address is the first read from the memmap's
memory, i.e. the read of md->type in efi_free_boot_services().

Note that the writes earlier in efi_arch_mem_reserve() don't splat because
they're done through early_memremap()ed addresses.

So, after memblock is gone, allocations should be done through the "normal"
page allocator. Introduce a helper, efi_memmap_alloc() for this. Use
it from efi_arch_mem_reserve() and from efi_free_boot_services() as well.

Fixes: 4bc9f92e64c8 ("x86/efi-bgrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() to avoid copying image data")
