Subject: [PATCH v9 3/4] efi: Register efi_secret platform device if EFI secret area is declared

During efi initialization, check if coco_secret is defined in the EFI
configuration table; in such case, register platform device
"efi_secret".  This allows udev to automatically load the efi_secret
module (platform driver), which in turn will populate the
<securityfs>/secrets/coco directory in guests into which secrets were
injected.

Note that a declared address of an EFI secret area doesn't mean that
secrets where indeed injected to that area; if the secret area is not
populated, the driver will not load (but the platform device will still
be registered).
