[PATCH v2] efi/arm64: handle missing virtual mapping for UEFI System Table

If we cannot resolve the virtual address of the UEFI System Table, its physical
offset must be missing from the virtual memory map, and there is really no point
in proceeding with installing the virtual memory map and the runtime services
dispatch table. So back out gracefully.

v2:
- release mappings and free virtmap before bailing
