efi: efivars: Fix variable writes without query_variable_store()
Commit bbc6d2c6ef22 ("efi: vars: Switch to new wrapper layer") refactored the efivars layer so that the 'business logic' related to which UEFI variables affect the boot flow in which way could be moved out of it, and into the efivarfs driver. This inadvertently broke setting variables on firmware implementations that lack the QueryVariableInfo() boot service, because we no longer tolerate a EFI_UNSUPPORTED result from check_var_size() when calling efivar_entry_set_get_size(), which now ends up calling check_var_size() a second time inadvertently. If QueryVariableInfo() is missing, we support writes of up to 64k - let's move that logic into check_var_size(), and drop the redundant call.
