[PATCH] EFI: adjust cfg file buffer freeing

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

The boot services FreePages() needs passing the size. Since we allocated
one more byte to put a trailing nul there, we also need to bump the size
passed there. Make a small helper function to centralize this.

Note that there's no permanent memory leak because of the oversight: The
allocation is done using EfiLoaderData, and all memory of that type is
later reclaimed anyway.
