[PATCH v7 4/5] efivarfs: automatically update super block flag

From: Masahisa Kojima
Date: Mon Jul 31 2023 - 02:53:33 EST


efivar operation is updated when the tee_stmm_efi module is probed.
tee_stmm_efi module supports SetVariable runtime service,
but user needs to manually remount the efivarfs as RW to enable
the write access if the previous efivar operation does not support
SerVariable and efivarfs is mounted as read-only.

This commit notifies the update of efivar operation to
efivarfs subsystem, then drops SB_RDONLY flag if the efivar
operation supports SetVariable.
