efi: Expose underlying UEFI firmware platform size to userland
In some cases (e.g. Intel Bay Trail machines), the kernel will happily run in 64-bit even if the underlying UEFI firmware platform is 32-bit. That's great, but it's difficult for userland utilities like grub-install to do the right thing in such a situation. The kernel already knows about the size of the firmware via efi_enabled(EFI_64BIT). Add an extra sysfs interface /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size to expose that information to userland for low-level utilities to use.
