efi/arm64: libstub: Deal gracefully with EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL failure
commit d32de913 upstream. Currently, on arm64, we abort on any failure from efi_get_random_bytes() other than EFI_NOT_FOUND when it comes to setting the physical seed for KASLR, but ignore such failures when obtaining the seed for virtual KASLR or for early seeding of the kernel's entropy pool via the config table. This is inconsistent, and may lead to unexpected boot failures. So let's permit any failure for the physical seed, and simply report the error code if it does not equal EFI_NOT_FOUND.
