Alexey Makhalov f7bd9986f6 efi: Fix use-after-free in halt/reboot path
commit 92bfc33db9 ("efi: Free malloc regions on exit")
introduced memory freeing in grub_efi_fini(), which is
used not only by exit path but by halt/reboot one as well.
As result of memory freeing, code and data regions used by
modules, such as halt, reboot, acpi (used by halt) also got
freed. After return to module code, CPU executes, filled
by UEFI firmware (tested with edk2), 0xAFAFAFAF pattern as
a code. Which leads to #UD exception later.

Proposal here is to continue to free allocated memory for
exit boot services path but keep it for halt/reboot path
as it won't be much security concern here.
Introduced GRUB_LOADER_FLAG_EFI_KEEP_ALLOCATED_MEMORY
loader flag to be used by efi halt/reboot path.
