efi: pstore: move workqueue handling out of efivars
The worker thread that gets kicked off to sync the state of the EFI variable list is only used by the EFI pstore implementation, and is defined in its source file. So let's move its scheduling there as well. Since our efivar_init() scan will bail on duplicate entries, there is no need to disable the workqueue like we did before, so we can run it unconditionally.
