Subject: [PATCH v2] efi: fix panic in kdump kernel

Check if get_next_variable() is actually valid pointer before
calling it. In kdump kernel this method is set to NULL that causes
panic during the kexec-ed kernel boot.

Tested with QEMU and OVMF firmware.

Fixes: bad267f9e18f ("efi: verify that variable services are supported")
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
