efi: Handle deletions and size changes in efivarfs_write_file
A write to an efivarfs file will not always result in a variable of 'count' size after the EFI SetVariable() call. We may have appended to the existing data (ie, with the EFI_VARIABLE_APPEND_WRITE attribute), or even have deleted the variable (with an authenticated variable update, with a zero datasize). This change re-reads the updated variable from firmware, to check for size changes and deletions. In the latter case, we need to drop the dentry.
