x86/efi: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in efi_query_variable_store() efi_query_variable_store() does an atomic kzalloc() unnecessarily, because we can never get this far when called in an atomic context, namely when nonblocking == 1. Replace it with GFP_KERNEL. This was found by the DCNS static analysis tool written by myself.
