[PATCH 2/2] efi: show error messages only when loading certificates is failed

From: Lee, Chun-Yi
Date: Thu Dec 12 2019 - 04:38:38 EST


When loading certificates list from EFI variables, the error
message and efi status code always be emitted to dmesg. It looks
ugly:

[ 2.335031] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[ 2.335032] Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT
[ 2.339985] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[ 2.339987] Couldn't get UEFI dbx list

This cosmetic patch moved the messages to the error handling code
path. And, it also shows the corresponding status string of status
code.
