* Avoid confusing the user by returning -EIO instead of -ENOENT in

efivarfs if an EFI variable gets deleted from under us and return EOF
    when reading from a zero-length file - Lingzhu Xiang
 
  * Fix an oops in efivar_update_sysfs_entries() caused by reusing (and
    therefore corrupting) a kzalloc() allocation - Seiji Aguchi
 
  * Initialise the DataSize argument to GetVariable() otherwise it will
    not be updated with the actual size of the variable on return.
