[3/6] efi_loader: Introduce helper functions for EFI

A following patch introduces a different logic for loading initrd's
based on the EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL.
Since similar logic can be applied in the future for other system files
(i.e DTBs), let's add some helper functions which will retrieve and
parse file paths stored in EFI variables.

Please, move the function to lib/efi_loader/efi_var_common.c.

The function name does not convey that it is related to BootCurrent.

How about efi_create_current_boot_var()?

Missing LF. Knowing the GUID would help. I suggest:

log_debug("VenMedia(%pUl) not found in %ls\n", guid, var_name);

Better move the message to efi_dp_from_lo().

Please, add

    #define LOG_CATEGORY LOGC_EFI

before the first #include to allow filtering for EFI messages.

Best regards
