From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

efivars_exit() should check for efi_enabled and not undo
allocations when efi is not enabled. Otherwise there is an Oops
during module unload:

Matt apparently removed such a check in 2004 (with no reason given):
* 17 May 2004 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
* remove check for efi_enabled in exit
but there have been several changes since then.
