[PATCH V4 2/3] efi: Create efi_rts_wq and efi_queue_work() to invoke all efi_runtime_services()

[Sai Praneeth Prakhya]

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

When a process requests the kernel to execute any efi_runtime_service(),
the requested efi_runtime_service (represented as an identifier) and its
arguments are packed into a struct named efi_runtime_work and queued
onto work queue named efi_rts_wq. The caller then waits until the work
is completed.

Introduce some infrastructure:
1. Creating workqueue named efi_rts_wq
2. A macro (efi_queue_work()) that
	a. Populates efi_runtime_work
	b. Queues work onto efi_rts_wq and
	c. Waits until worker thread completes

The caller thread has to wait until the worker thread completes, because
it depends on the return status of efi_runtime_service() and, in
specific cases, the arguments populated by efi_runtime_service(). Some
efi_runtime_services() takes a pointer to buffer as an argument and
fills up the buffer with requested data. For instance,
efi_get_variable() and efi_get_next_variable(). Hence, caller process
cannot just post the work and get going.

Some facts about efi_runtime_services():
1. A quick look at all the efi_runtime_services() shows that any
efi_runtime_service() has five or less arguments.
2. An argument of efi_runtime_service() can be a value (of any type)
or a pointer (of any type).
Hence, efi_runtime_work has five void pointers to store these arguments.
