Subject: [PATCH v3 10/11] cxl/acpi: Prepare use of EFI runtime services

In order to use EFI runtime services, esp. ACPI PRM which uses the
efi_rts_wq workqueue, initialize EFI before CXL ACPI.

There is a subsys_initcall order dependency if driver is builtin:

 subsys_initcall(cxl_acpi_init);
 subsys_initcall(efisubsys_init);

Prevent the efi_rts_wq workqueue being used by cxl_acpi_init() before
its allocation. Use subsys_initcall_sync(cxl_acpi_init) to always run
efisubsys_init() first.
