[PATCH v2] EFI loader: remove redundant code

[Eugene Korenevsky]

*e820ext is always NULL in 'alloc_e820ext()' (see the code of 'exit_boot()').
Without loss of generality we can replace freeing with returning
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER. So if the caller would ever incorrectly pass non-NULL
*e820ext, he will obtain a returned error code.
