efi_loader: bootmgr: fix a problem in loading an image from a short-path
Booting from a short-form device path which starts with the first element being a File Path Media Device Path failed because it doesn't contain any valid device with simple file system protocol and efi_dp_find_obj() in efi_load_image_from_path() will return NULL. For instance, /VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/Scsi(0,0)/\helloworld.efi -> shortened version: /\helloworld.efi With this patch applied, all the media devices with simple file system protocol are enumerated and the boot manager attempts to boot temporarily generated device paths one-by-one. This new implementation is still a bit incompatible with the UEFI specification in terms of: * not creating real boot options * not try "If a device does not support the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL, but supports the EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL protocol, then the EFI Boot Service ConnectController must be called for this device with DriverImageHandle and RemainingDevicePath set to NULL and the Recursive flag is set to TRUE." (See section 3.1.2 "Load Option Processing".) But it still gives us a closer and better solution than the current.
