[PATCH] x86/efi: initialize status to ensure garbage is not returned on small size

From: Colin King

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Although very unlikey, if size is too small or zero, then we end up with
status not being set and returning garbage. Instead, initializing status to
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER to indicate that size is invalid in the calls to
setup_uga32 and setup_uga64.
