[PATCH v2 5/9] efi: vars: Use locking version to iterate over efivars linked lists
From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Tue Jun 21 2022 - 11:37:04 EST
Both efivars and efivarfs uses __efivar_entry_iter() to go over the
linked list that shadows the list of EFI variables held by the firmware,
but fail to call the begin/end helpers that are documented as a
prerequisite.
So switch to the proper version, which is efivar_entry_iter(). Given
that in both cases, efivar_entry_remove() is invoked with the lock held
already, don't take the lock there anymore.
