Why is this needed?
The test_create_empty() will be run on read-only efivarfs, and it will print [PASS], but it will also print some noise message with read-only filesystem like:

--------------------
running test_create_empty
--------------------
$(TESTCASE_PATH)/efivarfs.sh: line 85: /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/test_create_empty-210be57c-9849-4fc7-a635-e6382d1aec27: Read-only file system
  [PASS]

This change is for suppressing the noise message and make the output clean like below:

--------------------
running test_create_empty
--------------------
  [PASS]

Thanks,

Hui.
