efi: Make efi_rts_work accessible to efi page fault handler

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v4.20-rc1
commit 9dbbedaa
category: bugfix
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I67RIP
CVE: NA

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=9dbbedaa6171247c4c7c40b83f05b200a117c2e0



--------------------------------

After the kernel has booted, if any accesses by firmware causes a page
fault, the efi page fault handler would freeze efi_rts_wq and schedules
a new process. To do this, the efi page fault handler needs
efi_rts_work. Hence, make it accessible.

There will be no race conditions in accessing this structure, because
all the calls to efi runtime services are already serialized.
