OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe: suppress invalid "deref of undef pointer" warning
RH covscan emits the following false positive: > Error: CLANG_WARNING: > edk2-89910a39dcfd/OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe/AcpiPlatform.c:182:14: > warning: Dereference of undefined pointer value > # Status = FwVol->ReadSection ( > # ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > edk2-89910a39dcfd/OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe/AcpiPlatform.c:164:7: note: > Assuming the condition is false > # if (QemuDetected ()) { > # ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > edk2-89910a39dcfd/OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe/AcpiPlatform.c:164:3: note: > Taking false branch > # if (QemuDetected ()) { > # ^ > edk2-89910a39dcfd/OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe/AcpiPlatform.c:174:3: note: > Taking false branch > # if (EFI_ERROR (Status)) { > # ^ > edk2-89910a39dcfd/OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe/AcpiPlatform.c:180:10: note: > Assuming 'Status' is equal to EFI_SUCCESS > # while (Status == EFI_SUCCESS) { > # ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > edk2-89910a39dcfd/OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe/AcpiPlatform.c:180:3: note: > Loop condition is true.

Suppress the message by: - assigning FwVol NULL first (this would replace the original report with "nullptr deref"), - asserting that FwVol is no longer NULL, on success. What's important here is that ASSERT() ends with ANALYZER_UNREACHABLE() on failure.
