efi/x86: Do not clean dummy variable in kexec path

[ Upstream commit 2ecb7402cfc7f22764e7bbc80790e66eadb20560 ]

kexec reboot fails randomly in UEFI based KVM guest.  The firmware
just resets while calling efi_delete_dummy_variable();  Unfortunately
I don't know how to debug the firmware, it is also possible a potential
problem on real hardware as well although nobody reproduced it.

The intention of the efi_delete_dummy_variable is to trigger garbage collection
when entering virtual mode.  But SetVirtualAddressMap can only run once
for each physical reboot, thus kexec_enter_virtual_mode() is not necessarily
a good place to clean a dummy object.

Drop the efi_delete_dummy_variable so that kexec reboot can work.
