3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Richard Weinberger <rich...@nod.at>
commit 7791c8423f1f7f4dad94e753bae67461d5b80be8 upstream.
Some EFI implementations return always a MaximumVariableSize of 0,
check against max_size only if it is non-zero.
My Intel DQ67SW desktop board has such an implementation.
