lkdtm: Add more EFI runtime tests
Two bugs were found in the arm64 EFI runtime support that weren't caught by LKDTM. The existing EFI_RUNTIME_CRASH test instructs the firmware to write to kernel memory that is mapped read-only, which usually fails as expected. However, this does not exercise the runtime mapping logic in the kernel, nor the fault recovery logic when the faulting address is inside the EFI runtime memory regions itself. So add two more test cases: - a write to R/O memory test that uses the firmware's own executable memory as an output buffer - a branch to memory that is occupied by the firmware's runtime services function table, which is usually mapped non-execute. This depends on the EFI memory attributes table having been exposed by the firmware and having been taken into account by the runtime mapping code, so this is used as a prerequisite by the new tests, otherwise it produces an XFAIL.
