x86/efi: Hoist page table switching code into efi_call_virt()
commit c9f2a9a65e4855b74d92cdad688f6ee4a1a323ff upstream. This change is a prerequisite for pending patches that switch to a dedicated EFI page table, instead of using 'trampoline_pgd' which shares PGD entries with 'swapper_pg_dir'. The pending patches make it impossible to dereference the runtime service function pointer without first switching %cr3. It's true that we now have duplicated switching code in efi_call_virt() and efi_call_phys_{prolog,epilog}() but we are sacrificing code duplication for a little more clarity and the ease of writing the page table switching code in C instead of asm.
