[PATCH] x86/efi: Apply EFI Memory Attributes after kexec

[Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenz@amazon.com>]

Kexec bypasses EFI's switch to virtual mode. In exchange, it has its own
routine, kexec_enter_virtual_mode(), that replays the mappings made by
the original kernel. Unfortunately, the function fails to reinstate
EFI's memory attributes and runtime memory protections, which would've
otherwise been set after entering virtual mode. Remediate this by
calling efi_runtime_update_mappings() from it.

Notes:
- I tested the Memory Attributes path using QEMU/OVMF.

- Although care is taken to make sure the memory backing the EFI Memory
  Attributes table is preserved during runtime and reachable after kexec
  (see efi_memattr_init()). I don't see the same happening for the EFI
  properties table. Maybe it's just unnecessary as there's an assumption
  that the table will fall in memory preserved during runtime? Or for
  another reason? Otherwise, we'd need to make sure it isn't possible to
  set EFI_NX_PE_DATA on kexec.
