efi: EFI_EARLYCON should depend on EFI (2020-11-25 16:55:02 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
More EFI fixes for v5.10-rc:
- revert efivarfs kmemleak fix again - it was a false positive;
- make CONFIG_EFI_EARLYCON depend on CONFIG_EFI explicitly so it does not
pull in other dependencies unnecessarily if CONFIG_EFI is not set
- defer attempts to load SSDT overrides from EFI vars until after the
efivar layer is up.
