Subject[PATCH] efi/efivars: create efivars mount point when get variable services are available
Date
The efivars filesystem depends on GetVariable or GetNextVariable EFI
runtime services. So the /sys/firmware/efi/efivars does not need to be
created when GetVariable and GetNextVariable are not available.

It is useful for userland to determine the availability of efivars
filesystem.
