x86/efi: Don't try to reserve runtime regions

Browse Source 
commit 6f6266a561306e206e0e31a5038f029b6a7b1d89 upstream.

Reserving a runtime region results in splitting the EFI memory
descriptors for the runtime region. This results in runtime region
descriptors with bogus memory mappings, leading to interesting crashes
like the following during a kexec:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

Runtime regions will not be freed and do not need to be reserved, so
skip the memmap modification in this case.
