efi/capsule: Make efi_capsule_pending() lockless
Taking a mutex in the reboot path is bogus because we cannot sleep
with interrupts disabled, such as when rebooting due to panic(),
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:97
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 7, name: rcu_sched
Call Trace:

In this case all other CPUs will have been stopped by the time we
execute the platform reboot code, so 'capsule_pending' cannot change
under our feet. We wouldn't care even if it could since we cannot wait
for it complete.
Also, instead of relying on the external 'system_state' variable just
use a reboot notifier, so we can set 'stop_capsules' while holding
'capsule_mutex', thereby avoiding a race where system_state is updated
while we're in the middle of efi_capsule_update_locked() (since CPUs
won't have been stopped at that point).
