[PATCH 14/15] efi/libstub: Make efi_printk() input argument const char*

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Fri May 08 2020 - 14:03:02 EST


To help the compiler figure out that efi_printk() will not modify
the string it is given, make the input argument type const char*.

While at it, simplify the implementation as well.
