efi_loader: treat UEFI variable name as const
UEFI variable names are typically constants and hence should be defined as
const. Unfortunately some of our API functions do not define the parameters
for UEFI variable names as const. This requires unnecessary conversions.
Adjust parameters of several internal functions to tre UEFI variable names
as const.
