If a variable already exists, efi_set_variable() should not change
the variable's attributes. This patch enforces it.

This behavior is mandated by UEFI spec 2.7.

This patch let's `bootefi selftest`fail:

Executing 'variables'
lib/efi_selftest/efi_selftest_variables.c(60):
TODO: QueryVariableInfo failed
lib/efi_selftest/efi_selftest_variables.c(119):
ERROR: SetVariable failed
lib/efi_selftest/efi_selftest.c(110):
ERROR: Executing 'variables' failed

The preferred solution would be to implement APPEND_WRITE.

Otherwise at least adjust the unit test concerning APPEND_WRITE to use
efi_st_todo() and not to abort the test.

I suggest that you always run `bootefi selftest` before submitting
changes to the UEFI sub-system.

Best regards

Heinrich

Since the current code doesn't supoort APPEND_WRITE, my commit
doesn't break anything. You should fix selftest first.

I don't have an immediate plan to implement APPEND_WRITE for now.

You are freeing val. But this value was not allocated by you.

I saw this with `bootefi selftest` after applying
