efivars: respect EFI_UNSUPPORTED return from firmware
stable inclusion from stable-5.10.26 commit e4ea2a28d068885f2637b5d48a3280d2707b9289 bugzilla: 51363 -------------------------------- commit 483028ed upstream. As per UEFI spec 2.8B section 8.2, EFI_UNSUPPORTED may be returned by EFI variable runtime services if no variable storage is supported by firmware. In this case, there is no point for kernel to continue efivars initialization. That said, efivar_init() should fail by returning an error code, so that efivarfs will not be mounted on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars at all. Otherwise, user space like efibootmgr will be confused by the EFIVARFS_MAGIC seen there, while EFI variable calls cannot be made successfully.
