[PATCH v2] xen/efi: Fix crash with initial empty EFI options

[Frediano Ziglio <frediano.ziglio@xxxxxxxxx>]

EFI code path split options from EFI LoadOptions fields in 2
pieces, first EFI options, second Xen options.
"get_argv" function is called first to get the number of arguments
in the LoadOptions, second, after allocating enough space, to
fill some "argc"/"argv" variable. However the first parsing could
be different from second as second is able to detect "--" argument
separator. So it was possible that "argc" was bigger that the "argv"
array leading to potential buffer overflows, in particular
a string like "-- a b c" would lead to buffer overflow in "argv"
resulting in crashes.
Using EFI shell is possible to pass any kind of string in
LoadOptions.

Fixes: bf6501a62e80 ("x86-64: EFI boot code")
