[PATCH] efi_loader: esrt: Remove EFI_CALL invocation in efi_esrt_register

[Sughosh Ganu]

The efi_esrt_register function calls efi_create_event and
efi_register_protocol_notify functions. These function calls are made
through the EFI_CALL macro.

For the Arm and RiscV architecture platforms, the EFI_CALL macro,
before invoking the corresponding function, modifies the global_data
pointer. Before the function calls, the gd is set to app_gd, which is
the value used by UEFI app, and after the function call, it is
restored back to u-boot's gd.

This becomes an issue when the EFI_CALL is used for the two function
invocations, since these functions make calls to calloc, which
dereferences the gd pointer. With the gd pointer being no longer
valid, this results in an abort. Since these functions are using
u-boot's api's, they should not be called through the EFI_CALL
macro. Fix this issue by calling these functions directly, without the
EFI_CALL macro.

This issue can be seen by executing a 'printenv -e' command on an arm
architecture platform. Executing the command results in an abort.
