efibc: Fix excessive stack footprint warning 

GCC complains about a newly added file for the EFI Bootloader Control:

  drivers/firmware/efi/efibc.c: In function 'efibc_set_variable':
  drivers/firmware/efi/efibc.c:53:1: error: the frame size of 2272 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

The problem is the declaration of a local variable of type struct
efivar_entry, which is by itself larger than the warning limit of 1024
bytes.

Use dynamic memory allocation instead of stack memory for the entry
object.

This patch also fixes a potential buffer overflow.
