efi/x86: Do not clean dummy variable in kexec path
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851550
[ Upstream commit
2ecb7402cfc7f22764e7bbc80790e66eadb20560 ]
kexec reboot fails randomly in UEFI based KVM guest. The firmware
just resets while calling efi_delete_dummy_variable(); Unfortunately
I don't know how to debug the firmware, it is also possible a potential
problem on real hardware as well although nobody reproduced it.
The intention of the efi_delete_dummy_variable is to trigger garbage collection
when entering virtual mode. But SetVirtualAddressMap can only run once
for each physical reboot, thus kexec_enter_virtual_mode() is not necessarily
a good place to clean a dummy object.
Drop the efi_delete_dummy_variable so that kexec reboot can work.
