efi: fix userspace infinite retry read efivars after EFI runtime services page fault
After [1][2], if we catch exceptions due to EFI runtime service, we will clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES bit to disable EFI runtime service, then the subsequent routine which invoke the EFI runtime service should fail. But the userspace cat efivars through /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ will stuck and infinite loop calling read() due to efivarfs_file_read() return -EINTR. The -EINTR is converted from EFI_ABORTED by efi_status_to_err(), and is an improper return value in this situation, so let virt_efi_xxx() return EFI_DEVICE_ERROR and converted to -EIO to invoker.
