Commit8a254d90a7("efi: efivars: Fix variable writes without query_variable_store()") addressed an issue that was introduced during the EFI variable store refactor, where alternative implementations of the efivars layer that lacked query_variable_store() would no longer work. Unfortunately, there is another case to consider here, which was missed: if the efivars layer is backed by the EFI runtime services as usual, but the EFI implementation predates the introduction of QueryVariableInfo(), we will return EFI_UNSUPPORTED, and this is no longer being dealt with correctly. So let's fix this, and while at it, clean up the code a bit, by merging the check_var_size() routines as well as their callers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
