x86, efi: Properly pre-initialize table pointers
Consumers of the table pointers in struct efi check for EFI_INVALID_TABLE_ADDR to determine validity, hence these pointers should all be pre-initialized to this value (rather than zero). Noticed by the discrepancy between efivars' systab sysfs entry showing all tables (and their pointers) despite the code intending to only display the valid ones. No other bad effects known, but having the various table parsing routines bogusly access physical address zero is certainly not very desirable (even though they're unlikely to find anything useful there).
