efi: Pass correct file handle to efi_file_{read,close}
We're currently passing the file handle for the root file system to efi_file_read() and efi_file_close(), instead of the file handle for the file we wish to read/close. While this has worked up until now, it seems that it has only been by pure luck. Olivier explains, "The issue is the UEFI Fat driver might return the same function for 'fh->read()' and 'h->read()'. While in our case it does not work with a different implementation of EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. In our case, we return a different pointer when reading a directory and reading a file." Fixing this actually clears up the two functions because we can drop one of the arguments, and instead only pass a file 'handle' argument.
