[PATCH] efi: Free existing memory map before installing new memory map

[Sai Praneeth Prakhya]

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

efi_memmap_install(), unmaps the existing memory map and installs the
new memory map but doesn't free the memory allocated to the existing
memory map. Fortunately, the details about the existing memory map are
stored in efi.memmap. Hence, use them to free the memory.
