[PATCH v2] efi: vars: commonize the 512-byte name buffer quirk

[Jonggeun Park <jakejgpark@gmail.com>]

Some old UEFI implementations reject GetNextVariableName() calls with
a name buffer size larger than 512 bytes. Both efivar_init() and
efi_pstore_read() open-code the same workaround of resetting the size
to 512 on every iteration.

Move this workaround into efivar_get_next_variable(), which keeps this
quirk in one place, resolving the TODO in efi-pstore.c.

No functional change intended.

v2:
- Move the workaround into the existing efivar_get_next_variable().
