efi: random: fix NULL-deref when refreshing seed
Do not try to refresh the RNG seed in case the firmware does not support
setting variables.
This is specifically needed to prevent a NULL-pointer dereference on the
Lenovo X13s with some firmware revisions, or more generally, whenever
the runtime services have been disabled (e.g. efi=noruntime or with
PREEMPT_RT).
Fixes: e7b813b32a42 ("efi: random: refresh non-volatile random seed when RNG is initialized")
