efi: Check for NULL efi kernel parameters
commit 9115c7589b11349a1c3099758b4bded579ff69e0 upstream.
Even though it is documented how to specifiy efi parameters, it is
possible to cause a kernel panic due to a dereference of a NULL pointer when
parsing such parameters if "efi" alone is given:

This panic is not reproducible with "efi=" as this will result in a non-NULL
zero-length string.
Thus, verify that the pointer to the parameter string is not NULL. This is
consistent with other parameter-parsing functions which check for NULL pointers.
