Commit d64934019f6c ("x86/efi: Use efi_exit_boot_services()")
introduced a regression on systems with large memory maps
causing them to hang on boot. The first "goto get_map" that was removed
from exit_boot insured there was enough room for the memory map when
efi_call_early(exit_boot_services) was called. This happens when
(nr_desc > ARRAY_SIZE(params->e820_table).

Chain of events:
  exit_boot()
    efi_exit_boot_services()
      efi_get_memory_map <- at this point the mm can't grow over 8 desc
      priv_func()
        exit_boot_func()
          allocate_e820ext() <- new mm grows over 8 desc from e820 alloc
      efi_call_early(exit_boot_services) <- mm key doesn't match so retry
      efi_call_early(get_memory_map) <- not enough room for new mm
      system hangs

This patch allocates the e820 buffer before calling efi_exit_boot_services
and fixes the regression.

So there should be at least one week of testing because I just sent the 
EFI fixes to Linus, plus -stable gets at least a week of testing as well.

Also, in practice, -next and early -rc cycles get only the fraction of 
testing that later -rc's or -stable gets. So if we want this in -stable 
we might as well do it now - or the real testing gets delayed by ~3 
months in practice. That's also the pattern encouraged by Linus: if it's 
a fix that matters then it should be upstreamed with the usual regression 
fixes.

Anyway, your call!

Thanks,

	Ingo
