Ard Biesheuvel 8a254d90a7 efi: efivars: Fix variable writes without query_variable_store()
Commit bbc6d2c6ef ("efi: vars: Switch to new wrapper layer")
refactored the efivars layer so that the 'business logic' related to
which UEFI variables affect the boot flow in which way could be moved
out of it, and into the efivarfs driver.

This inadvertently broke setting variables on firmware implementations
that lack the QueryVariableInfo() boot service, because we no longer
tolerate a EFI_UNSUPPORTED result from check_var_size() when calling
efivar_entry_set_get_size(), which now ends up calling check_var_size()
a second time inadvertently.

If QueryVariableInfo() is missing, we support writes of up to 64k -
let's move that logic into check_var_size(), and drop the redundant
call.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
