x86/efi: Disable runtime services on kexec kernel if booted with efi=old_map
Booting kexec kernel with "efi=old_map" in kernel command line hits
kernel panic as shown below.
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88007fe78070
IP: virt_efi_set_variable.part.7+0x63/0x1b0
PGD 7ea28067
PUD 7ea2b067
PMD 7ea2d067
PTE 0

Call Trace:
virt_efi_set_variable()
efi_delete_dummy_variable()
efi_enter_virtual_mode()
start_kernel()
x86_64_start_reservations()
x86_64_start_kernel()
start_cpu()
[ efi=old_map was never intended to work with kexec. The problem with
using efi=old_map is that the virtual addresses are assigned from the
memory region used by other kernel mappings; vmalloc() space.
Potentially there could be collisions when booting kexec if something
else is mapped at the virtual address we allocated for runtime service
regions in the initial boot - Matt Fleming ]
Since kexec was never intended to work with efi=old_map, disable
runtime services in kexec if booted with efi=old_map, so that we don't
panic.
