[PATCH V1 1/3] x86/efi: Call efi_delete_dummy_variable() during efi subsystem initialization

[Sai Praneeth Prakhya]

From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@xxxxxxxxx>

Invoking efi_runtime_services() through efi_workqueue means all accesses
to efi_runtime_services() should be done after efi_rts_wq has been
created. efi_delete_dummy_variable() calls set_variable(), hence
efi_delete_dummy_variable() should be called after efi_rts_wq has been
created.

efi_delete_dummy_variable() is called from efi_enter_virtual_mode()
which is early in the boot phase (efi_rts_wq isn't created yet), so call
efi_delete_dummy_variable() later in the boot phase i.e. while
initializing efi subsystem. In the next patch, this is the place where
we create efi_rts_wq and all the efi_runtime_services() will be called
using efi_rts_wq.
