fb153dc53f efi/capsule: Fix return code on failing kmap/vmap 
If kmap or vmap fail, it means we ran out of memory. There are no
user-provided addressed involved that would justify EFAULT.

6862e6ad95 efi/capsule: Allocate whole capsule into virtual memory 
According to UEFI 2.6 section 7.5.3, the capsule should be in contiguous
virtual memory and firmware may consume the capsule immediately. To
correctly implement this functionality, the kernel driver needs to vmap
the entire capsule at the time it is made available to firmware.

The virtual allocation of the capsule update has been changed from kmap,
which was only allocating the first page of the update, to vmap, and
allocates the entire data payload.

Kweh, Hock Leong
65117f1aa1 efi: Add misc char driver interface to update EFI firmware 
This patch introduces a kernel module to expose a capsule loader
interface (misc char device file note) for users to upload capsule
binaries.

Example:

  cat firmware.bin > /dev/efi_capsule_loader

Any upload error will be returned while doing "cat" through file
operation write() function call.
