efi/x86: use naked RET on mixed mode call wrapper

Browse Source 
When running with return thunks enabled under 32-bit EFI, the system
crashes with:

That's because it cannot jump to the return thunk from the 32-bit code.

Using a naked RET and marking it as safe allows the system to proceed
booting.
