efi/bgrt: Skip efi_bgrt_init() in case of non-EFI boot
Sabrina Dubroca reported an early panic:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffff240001
IP: efi_bgrt_init+0xdc/0x134
[...]
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
... which was introduced by:
7b0a911478c7 ("efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code")
The cause is that on this machine the firmware provides the EFI ACPI BGRT
table even on legacy non-EFI bootups - which table should be EFI only.
The garbage BGRT data causes the efi_bgrt_init() panic.
Add a check to skip efi_bgrt_init() in case non-EFI bootup to work around
this firmware bug.
