efivars: Allow disabling use as a pstore backend
commit ed9dc8ce7a1c8115dba9483a9b51df8b63a2e0ef upstream.
Add a new option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE, which can be set to N to
avoid using efivars as a backend to pstore, as some users may want to
compile out the code completely.
Set the default to Y to maintain backwards compatability, since this
feature has always been enabled until now.
