The implicit part that covers this case is in
drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c. The match_config_table function will go
through all the installed configuration tables and only fill up the
associated member of the efi structure if it exists. In this case,
.tpm_log will remains at EFI_INVALID_TABLE_ADDR unless
efi_call_early(install_configuration_table, ...) is called. So no
further processing is to be expected should the allocation failed.

Done.

That's right. To keep it simple, it might be easier to just set
tpm_log to EFI_INVALID_TABLE_ADDR if that happens. Added in the next
version of the patch set.
