[PATCH 2/4] efivarfs: always register filesystem

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Thu Jan 19 2023 - 23:37:51 EST


The efivar ops are typically registered at subsys init time so that
they are available when efivarfs is registered at module init time.

Other efivars implementations, such as Google SMI, exists and can
currently be build as modules which means that efivar may not be
available when efivarfs is initialised.

Move the efivar availability check from module init to when the
filesystem is mounted to allow late registration of efivars.
