Re: [PATCH v5 11/25] powerpc/secvar: Allow backend to populate static list of variable names

Currently, the list of variables is populated by calling
secvar_ops->get_next() repeatedly, which is explicitly modelled on the
OPAL API (including the keylen parameter).

For the upcoming PLPKS backend, we have a static list of variable names.
It is messy to fit that into get_next(), so instead, let the backend put
a NULL-terminated array of variable names into secvar_ops->var_names,
which will be used if get_next() is undefined.
