Subject: [PATCH 1/1] efi/libstub: setup_graphics() do not return random data

Currently setup_graphics() ignores the return value of efi_setup_gop(). As
AllocatePool() does not zero out memory the screen information table will
contain random data in this case.

We should free the screen information table if efi_setup_gop() returns an
error code.
