The efi_exit() function frees the loaded image memory by calling
efi_delete_image(). However, when CONFIG_EFI_TCG2_PROTOCOL is enabled, the
image_obj->image_type structure member is accessed after the memory has
been freed.

Fix this by keeping a copy of image_type, as is already done for exit_jmp.

Hi,

This can be verified with sandbox_defconfig + CONFIG_VALGRIND=y and the
following command:

  valgrind --suppressions=scripts/u-boot.supp \
    ./u-boot -T -c "setenv efi_selftest start image return; \
                    bootefi selftest"

Best regards,
Vincent.
