efivarfs: return accurate error code in efivarfs_fill_super()

Joseph was hitting a failure case when mounting efivarfs which
resulted in an incorrect error message,

  $ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory

triggered when efivarfs_valid_name() returned -EINVAL.

Make sure we pass accurate return values up the stack if
efivarfs_fill_super() fails to build inodes for EFI variables.
