[PATCH v1] arm64/efi: Don't fail check current_in_efi() if preemptible

As EFI runtime services can now be run without disabling preemption remove
the check for non preemptible in current_in_efi(). Without this change,
firmware errors that were previously recovered from by
__efi_runtime_kernel_fixup_exception() will lead to a kernel oops.

On the partner platform I was testing on this issue caused the boot to fail.
