This function allocates memory, so calling it should be deferred until
after we relocate the kernel, to prevent these allocations from using
up space that we'd rather use for the kernel.

Does it work for you if we move this call further down, right before
the call to efi_enable_reset_attack_mitigation()? Please confirm.
