efi/runtime-wrappers: honour EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES in the non-blocking paths
Three wrappers call firmware directly instead of going through __efi_queue_work(), and none of them check whether runtime services are still enabled: virt_efi_set_variable_nb(), virt_efi_query_variable_info_nb() and virt_efi_reset_system(). Once a hang has cleared EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES - or efi_recover_from_page_fault() has cleared it on a firmware page fault - these paths still enter the (possibly wedged) firmware, e.g. an EFI pstore write through the non-blocking SetVariable() variant, in violation of UEFI's non-reentrancy rules. reset_system() is reachable too: efi_reboot() only gates it on the static efi_rt_services_supported() mask, which does not track the runtime disable. Check efi_enabled(EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES) in each before calling into firmware. Test it after taking efi_runtime_lock rather than before: the bit is only ever cleared at runtime while that lock is held, so checking it under the lock avoids racing with a concurrent timeout that clears the bit and drops the lock.
