From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prak...@intel.com>
Create a workqueue named efi_rts_wq (efi runtime services workqueue), so
that all efi_runtime_services() are executed in kthread context.
Invoking efi_runtime_services() through efi_rts_wq means all accesses to
efi_runtime_services() should be done after efi_rts_wq has been created.
efi_delete_dummy_variable() calls set_variable(), hence
efi_delete_dummy_variable() should be called after efi_rts_wq has been
created.
