Subject: [PATCH v2] efi_64: Fix a missing-check bug in
 arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c

In efi_call_phys_prolog(), 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.
Further, if efi_call_phys_prolog() returns NULL, we should abort the
process in phys_efi_set_virtual_address_map(), and return EFI_ABORTED.
