Subject: [PATCH 4.11 048/150] efi: Dont issue error message when booted under Xen

4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

commit 1ea34adb87c969b89dfd83f1905a79161e9ada26 upstream.

When booted as Xen dom0 there won't be an EFI memmap allocated. Avoid
issuing an error message in this case:

  [    0.144079] efi: Failed to allocate new EFI memmap
