Subject: [PATCH 1/1] efi: prevent GICv3 WARN() by mapping memreserve table before first use

Mapping the MEMRESERVE EFI configuration table from an early initcall
is too late: the GICv3 ITS code that creates persistent reservations
for the boot CPU's LPI tables is invoked from init_IRQ(), which runs
much earlier than the handling of the initcalls. This results in a
WARN() splat because the LPI tables cannot be reserved persistently,
which will result in silent memory corruption after a kexec reboot.

So instead, invoke the initialization performed by the initcall from
efi_mem_reserve_persistent() itself as well, but keep the initcall so
that the init is guaranteed to have been called before SMP boot.

Fixes: 63eb322d89c8 ("efi: Permit calling efi_mem_reserve_persistent() ...")
