efi: avoid efivars layer when loading SSDTs from variables
The efivars intermediate variable access layer provides an abstraction
that permits the EFI variable store to be replaced by something else
that implements a compatible interface, and caches all variables in the
variable store for fast access via the efivarfs pseudo-filesystem.
The SSDT override feature does not take advantage of either feature, as
it is only used when the generic EFI implementation of efivars is used,
and it traverses all variables only once to find the ones it is
interested in, and frees all data structures that the efivars layer
keeps right after.
So in this case, let's just call EFI's code directly, using the function
pointers in struct efi.
