Subject: [PATCH v2] efi: libstub: only free priv.runtime_map when allocated

priv.runtime_map is only allocated when efi_novamap is not set.
Otherwise, it is an uninitialized value.
In the error path, it is freed unconditionally.
Avoid passing an uninitialized value to free_pool.
Free priv.runtime_map only when it was allocated.

This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.

Fixes: f80d26043af9 ("efi: libstub: avoid efi_get_memory_map() for allocating the virt map")
