efi/capsule: Move 'capsule' to the stack in efi_capsule_supported()
Dan Carpenter reports that passing the address of the pointer to the
kmalloc()'d memory for 'capsule' is dangerous:
"drivers/firmware/efi/capsule.c:109 efi_capsule_supported()
warn: did you mean to pass the address of 'capsule'
108
109 status = efi.query_capsule_caps(&capsule, 1, &max_size, reset);
^^^^^^^^
If we modify capsule inside this function call then at the end of the
function we aren't freeing the original pointer that we allocated."
Ard Biesheuvel noted that we don't even need to call kmalloc() since the
object we allocate isn't very big and doesn't need to persist after the
function returns.
Place 'capsule' on the stack instead.
