Pull EFI fix from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "This works around a shortcoming in the memory acceptation API, which
  may apparently hog the CPU for long enough to trigger the softlockup
  watchdog.

  Note that this only affects confidential VMs running under the Intel
  TDX hypervisor, which is why I accepted this for now, but this should
  obviously be fixed properly in the future"
