[PATCH v5 1/3] efi/x86: skip efi_arch_mem_reserve() in case of kexec.

[Ashish Kalra]

From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@xxxxxxx>

For kexec use case, need to use and stick to the EFI memmap passed
from the first kernel via boot-params/setup data, hence,
skip efi_arch_mem_reserve() during kexec.

Additionally during SNP guest kexec testing discovered that EFI memmap
is corrupted during chained kexec. kexec_enter_virtual_mode() during
late init will remap the efi_memmap physical pages allocated in
efi_arch_mem_reserve() via memblock & then subsequently cause random
EFI memmap corruption once memblock is freed/teared-down.
