efi: Align 'efi_guid_t' to 64 bits

The UEFI Specification Version 2.7 Errata A defines:

"EFI_GUID
128-bit buffer containing a unique identifier value.
Unless otherwise specified, aligned on a 64-bit boundary."

Before this patch efi_guid_t was only 8-bit aligned.

Note that this could potentially trigger alignment faults during
EFI runtime services calls on 32-bit ARM, given that it does not
permit load/store double or load/store multiple instructions to
operate on memory addresses that are not 32-bit aligned.
