[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.5 26/52] x86/efistub: Don't try to print after ExitBootService()

[ Upstream commit ff07186b4d774ac22a5345d30763045af4569416 ]

setup_e820() is executed after UEFI's ExitBootService has been called.
This causes the firmware to throw an exception because the Console IO
protocol is supposed to work only during boot service environment. As
per UEFI 2.9, section 12.1:

"This protocol is used to handle input and output of text-based
information intended for the system user during the operation of code
in the boot services environment."

So drop the diagnostic warning from this function. We might add back a
warning that is issued later when initializing the kernel itself.
