Subject: [PATCH] MdeModulePkg Variable: Align TPL level for (Smm)EndOfDxe 
callback

VariableRuntimeDxe will have OnEndOfDxe() callback function at TPL_NOTIFY level 
on EndOfDxe event when DXE variable solution is used.
  Status = gBS->CreateEventEx (
                  EVT_NOTIFY_SIGNAL,
                  TPL_NOTIFY,
                  OnEndOfDxe,
                  NULL,
                  &gEfiEndOfDxeEventGroupGuid,
                  &EndOfDxeEvent
                  );

VariableSmm will have SmmEndOfDxeCallback() callback function at TPL_CALLBACK 
level on SmmEndOfDxe event when SMM variable solution is used.
SmmIplGuidedEventNotify()  -  PiSmmIpl.c TPL_CALLBACK on EndOfDxe
->
SmmEndOfDxeHandler()  -  PiSmmCore.c install SmmEndOfDxe protocol
->
SmmEndOfDxeCallback() - VariableSmm.c

The TPL level for (Smm)EndOfDxe callback between VariableRuntimeDxe and 
VariableSmm is inconsistent, it will make the unified platform code could not 
make sure its TPL_NOTIFY EndOfDxe callback function (to use variable 
lock/check) executed before (Smm)EndOfDxe callback function in variable driver. 
The variable lock/check will start to protect after (Smm)EndOfDxe callback 
function in variable driver is executed.

This patch is to algin the TPL level to TPL_CALLBACK for (Smm)EndOfDxe callback 
between VariableRuntimeDxe and VariableSmm.
