efi_loader: efi_setup: Add efi_start_obj_list() to efi_setup.c
The coomand bootefi calls efi_init_obj_list to do the efi set up
before launching an .efi payload, but efi_init_obj_list is called
only once. There are some initializations which depend on the
environment and should be done each time a payload gets launched and
not only once. A motivation for this changes is the following order
of events:
1. Launch an EFI application (e.g. bootefi hello)
2. Change the ip address
3. Launch another application which uses the pxe protocol
As the EFI pxe protocol was initialized when the handles
for efi net were created in 1., the ip was hardcoded there.
In this example, another possibility would be to make a callback for ip
address changes to go all the way up to efi_net.
