Subject: [PATCH] efi: fix -Wmissing-variable-declarations warning

When building x86/defconfig with Clang-18 I encounter the following warnings:
| arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:934:23: warning: no previous extern declaration for non-static variable 'efi_attr_fw_vendor' [-Wmissing-variable-declarations]
|   934 | struct kobj_attribute efi_attr_fw_vendor = __ATTR_RO(fw_vendor);
| arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:935:23: warning: no previous extern declaration for non-static variable 'efi_attr_runtime' [-Wmissing-variable-declarations]
|   935 | struct kobj_attribute efi_attr_runtime = __ATTR_RO(runtime);
| arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c:936:23: warning: no previous extern declaration for non-static variable 'efi_attr_config_table' [-Wmissing-variable-declarations]
|   936 | struct kobj_attribute efi_attr_config_table = __ATTR_RO(config_table);

These variables are not externally declared anywhere (AFAIK) so let's
add the static keyword and ensure we follow the ODR.
