efi: Allow drivers to reserve boot services forever

Today, it is not possible for drivers to reserve EFI boot services for
access after efi_free_boot_services() has been called on x86. For
ARM/arm64 it can be done simply by calling memblock_reserve().

Having this ability for all three architectures is desirable for a
couple of reasons,

  1) It saves drivers copying data out of those regions
  2) kexec reboot can now make use of things like ESRT

Instead of using the standard memblock_reserve() which is insufficient
to reserve the region on x86 (see efi_reserve_boot_services()), a new
API is introduced in this patch; efi_mem_reserve().

efi.memmap now always represents which EFI memory regions are
available. On x86 the EFI boot services regions that have not been
reserved via efi_mem_reserve() will be removed from efi.memmap during
efi_free_boot_services().

This has implications for kexec, since it is not possible for a newly
kexec'd kernel to access the same boot services regions that the
initial boot kernel had access to unless they are reserved by every
kexec kernel in the chain.
