syzbot reports issues with concurrent fsopen()/fsconfig() invocations on efivarfs, which are the result of the fact that the efivarfs list (which caches the names and GUIDs of existing EFI variables) is a global structure. In normal use, these issues are unlikely to trigger, even in the presence of multiple mounts of efivarfs, but the execution pattern used by the syzkaller reproducer may result in multiple instances of the superblock that share the global efivarfs list, and this causes list corruption when the list is reinitialized by one user while another is traversing it. So let's move the list head into the superblock s_fs_info field, so that it will never be shared between distinct instances of the superblock. In the common case, there will still be a single instance of this list, but in the artificial syzkaller case, no list corruption can occur any longer.
