x86/efi: Defer efi_esrt_init until after memblock_x86_fill

Commit 7b02d53e7852 ("efi: Allow drivers to reserve boot services forever")
introduced a new efi_mem_reserve to reserve the boot services memory
regions forever. This reservation involves allocating a new EFI memory
range descriptor. However, allocation can only succeed if there is memory
available for the allocation. Otherwise, error such as the following may
occur:

An inspection of the memblock configuration reveals that there is no memory
available for the allocation:

MEMBLOCK configuration:
 memory size = 0x0 reserved size = 0x4f339c0
 memory.cnt  = 0x1
 memory[0x0]    [0x00000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff], 0x0 bytes on node 0\
                 flags: 0x0
 reserved.cnt  = 0x4
 reserved[0x0]  [0x0000000008c000-0x0000000008c9bf], 0x9c0 bytes flags: 0x0
 reserved[0x1]  [0x0000000009f000-0x000000000fffff], 0x61000 bytes\
                 flags: 0x0
 reserved[0x2]  [0x00000002800000-0x0000000394bfff], 0x114c000 bytes\
                 flags: 0x0
 reserved[0x3]  [0x000000304e4000-0x00000034269fff], 0x3d86000 bytes\
                 flags: 0x0

This situation can be avoided if we call efi_esrt_init after memblock has
memory regions for the allocation.

Also, the EFI ESRT driver makes use of early_memremap'pings. Therfore, we
do not want to defer efi_esrt_init for too long. We must call such function
while calls to early_memremap are still valid.

A good place to meet the two aforementioned conditions is right after
memblock_x86_fill, grouped with other EFI-related functions.
