REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2002

This commit will update the logic in function SmmVariableGetStatistics()
so that the pointer fields ('Next' and 'Name') in structure
VARIABLE_INFO_ENTRY will not be copied into the SMM communication buffer.

Doing so will prevent SMM pointers address from being leaked into non-SMM
environment.

Please note that newly introduced internal function CopyVarInfoEntry()
will not use CopyMem() to copy the whole VARIABLE_INFO_ENTRY structure and
then zero out the 'Next' and 'Name' fields. This is for preventing race
conditions where the pointers value might still be read.

V2 patch updates the type of parameter 'DstInfoEntry' from 'in' to 'out'
for the newly added function CopyVarInfoEntry().
