x86/efi: Check status field to validate BGRT header
Madper reported seeing the following crash,
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffff340003
IP: [<ffffffff81d85ba4>] efi_bgrt_init+0x9d/0x133
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff81d8525d>] efi_late_init+0x9/0xb
[<ffffffff81d68f59>] start_kernel+0x436/0x450
[<ffffffff81d6892c>] ? repair_env_string+0x5c/0x5c
[<ffffffff81d68120>] ? early_idt_handlers+0x120/0x120
[<ffffffff81d685de>] x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c
[<ffffffff81d6871e>] x86_64_start_kernel+0x13e/0x14d
This is caused because the layout of the ACPI BGRT header on this system
doesn't match the definition from the ACPI spec, and so we get a bogus
physical address when dereferencing ->image_address in efi_bgrt_init().
Luckily the status field in the BGRT header clearly marks it as invalid,
so we can check that field and skip BGRT initialisation.
