Ding Hui 5b66b27b9d efi: fix userspace infinite retry read efivars after EFI runtime services page fault 
commit e006ac3003 upstream.

After [1][2], if we catch exceptions due to EFI runtime service, we will
clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES bit to disable EFI runtime service, then the
subsequent routine which invoke the EFI runtime service should fail.

But the userspace cat efivars through /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ will stuck
and infinite loop calling read() due to efivarfs_file_read() return -EINTR.

The -EINTR is converted from EFI_ABORTED by efi_status_to_err(), and is
an improper return value in this situation, so let virt_efi_xxx() return
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR and converted to -EIO to invoker.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
