[PATCH 2/2] efi/runtime-wrappers: mark efi_runtime_lock_owner as __used

[Breno Leitao]

efi_runtime_lock_owner is only ever read by efi_runtime_assert_lock_held().
When CONFIG_BUG=n, WARN_ON() collapses to a statement that discards its
condition, so the compiler drops that read, treats the variable as
write-only and eliminates it. Debug info still references the symbol, so a
build carrying it (e.g. CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT) fails to link:

  ld: drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.o:(.debug_addr+0x104): undefined reference to `efi_runtime_lock_owner'

Mark the variable __used so its storage is always emitted. This seems to
be better than alternatives (READ_ONCE/__maybe_unused).
