Subject: efi: Expose non-blocking set_variable() wrapper to efivars

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

commit 9c6672ac9c91f7eb1ec436be1442b8c26d098e55 upstream.

Commit 6d80dba1c9fe ("efi: Provide a non-blocking SetVariable() operation") implemented a non-blocking alternative for the UEFI SetVariable() invocation performed by efivars, since it may occur in atomic context. However, this version of the function was never exposed via the efivars struct, so the non-blocking versions was not actually callable. Fix that.
