This patchset removes duplicate function calls and useless debug message

1. The efi_set_mapping_permissions() does not need to be called in
efi_create_mapping(), because efi_memattr_apply_permissions() will be invoked.

The calling relationship is as follows:

==>efi_create_mapping()
   ==>efi_set_mapping_permissions()
==>efi_memattr_apply_permissions()
   ==>efi_set_mapping_permissions()

2. Based on the first point, efi_create_mapping() always returns 0,
so there is no need to print the failure return message.
