From: Tian Baofeng <[email protected]> Replace the variable set function from "efivar_entry_set" to "efivar_entry_set_safe" in efibc panic notifier. In safe function parameter "block" will set to false and will call "efivar_entry_set_nonblocking"to set efi variables. efivar_entry_set_nonblocking is guaranteed to not block and is suitable for calling from crash/panic handlers. In UEFI android platform, when warm reset happens, with this change, efibc will not block the reboot process. Otherwise, set variable will call queue work and send to other offlined cpus then cause another panic, finally will cause reboot failure.
