Hi all,

Unlike the unlink path that is called from the VFS layer, we need to
call d_delete() ourselves when a variable is deleted in
efivarfs_file_write().

Failure to do so means we can access a stale struct efivar_entry when
reading/writing the file, which can result in the following oops,

I still get an oops from Linghu Xiang's open/unlink test with this patch applied, running on OVMF. I'll investigate further..

Cheers,


Jeremy
