Subject: [PATCH] efi_64: Fix a missing-check bug in
 arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c of Linux 5.1

save_pgd is allocated by kmalloc_array. And it is dereferenced in the
following codes. However, memory allocation functions such as
kmalloc_array may fail. Dereferencing this save_pgd null pointer may 
cause the kernel go wrong. Thus we should check this allocation and add
error handling code.
