EFI changes for v3.9-rc2,
* Make the EFI variable code more paranoid about running out of
space in NVRAM, since this is the root cause of the recent issue
where machines refuse to boot - from Matthew Garrett.
* Some efivarfs patches that fix regressions introduced in v3.9-rc1.
efivarfs: return accurate error code in efivarfs_fill_super()
Joseph was hitting a failure case when mounting efivarfs which
resulted in an incorrect error message,
$ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory
triggered when efivarfs_valid_name() returned -EINVAL.
Make sure we pass accurate return values up the stack if
efivarfs_fill_super() fails to build inodes for EFI variables.
