efivar/ssdt: Don't iterate over EFI vars if no SSDT override was specified
The kernel command line option efivar_ssdt= allows the name to be
specified of an EFI variable containing an ACPI SSDT table that should
be loaded into memory by the OS, and treated as if it was provided by
the firmware.
Currently, that code will always iterate over the EFI variables and
compare each name with the provided name, even if the command line
option wasn't set to begin with.
So bail early when no variable name was provided. This works around a
boot regression on the 2012 Mac Pro, as reported by Scott.
