efi: fix userspace infinite retry read efivars after EFI runtime services page fault
commit e006ac3003080177cf0b673441a4241f77aaecce upstream.

After [1][2], if we catch exceptions due to EFI runtime service, we will
clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES bit to disable EFI runtime service, then the
subsequent routine which invoke the EFI runtime service should fail.

But the userspace cat efivars through /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ will stuck
and infinite loop calling read() due to efivarfs_file_read() return -EINTR.

The -EINTR is converted from EFI_ABORTED by efi_status_to_err(), and is
an improper return value in this situation, so let virt_efi_xxx() return
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR and converted to -EIO to invoker.
