efi: Clean up the efi_call_phys_[prolog|epilog]() save/restore interaction
Currently x86-64 efi_call_phys_prolog() saves into a global variable (save_pgd), and efi_call_phys_epilog() restores the kernel pagetables from that global variable. Change this to a cleaner save/restore pattern where the saving function returns the saved object and the restore function restores that. Apply the same concept to the 32-bit code as well. Plus this approach, as an added bonus, allows us to express the !efi_enabled(EFI_OLD_MEMMAP) situation in a clean fashion as well, via a 'NULL' return value.
