Subject: [PATCH v7 2/2] efi: Free malloc regions on exit

When we exit grub, we don't free all the memory that we allocated earlier
for our heap region. This can cause problems with setups where you try
to descend the boot order using "exit" entries, such as PXE -> HD boot
scenarios.

Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

---

v2 -> v3:

- add comment explaining the number of regions
  - move nr of regions into a define
  - add warning if we exceed the number of freeable regions
  - reset region counter to 0 on fini

v3 -> v4:

- use dynamic list instead of static array at runtime
  - use allocate_pool for list, so we are not bound by heap or random numbers
  - remember all allocations, not just the heap

v4 -> v5:

- free dynamic list entries on allocation removal

v5 -> v6:

- move next ptr to last field
  - s/start_addr/address/
  - s/grub_efi_unremember_pages()/grub_efi_drop_alloc()/
  - s/grub_efi_remember_pages()/grub_efi_store_alloc()/
  - move grub_efi_drop_alloc after grub_efi_store_alloc
  - s/grub2/GRUB/
  - Make grub_efi_memory_fini comment more verbose
  - Drop useless efi_allocated_memory = NULL; line

v6 -> v7:

- rewrite grub_efi_drop_alloc() according to Daniel's comments
