efi/libstub: Zero initialize heap allocated struct screen_info

commit ee8b8f5d83eb2c9caaebcf633310905ee76856e9 upstream.

After calling uefi interface allocate_pool to apply for memory, we
should clear 0 to prevent the possibility of using random values.

efi/libstub: Use relocated version of kernel's struct screen_info

In some cases, we expose the kernel's struct screen_info to the EFI stub
directly, so it gets populated before even entering the kernel. This
means the early console is available as soon as the early param parsing
happens, which is nice. It also means we need two different ways to pass
this information, as this trick only works if the EFI stub is baked into
the core kernel image, which is not always the case.

Huacai reports that the preparatory refactoring that was needed to
implement this alternative method for zboot resulted in a non-functional
efifb earlycon for other cases as well, due to the reordering of the
kernel image relocation with the population of the screen_info struct,
and the latter now takes place after copying the image to its new
location, which means we copy the old, uninitialized state.

So let's ensure that the same-image version of alloc_screen_info()
produces the correct screen_info pointer, by taking the displacement of
the loaded image into account.

efi: libstub: Move screen_info handling to common code

Currently, arm64, RISC-V and LoongArch rely on the fact that struct
screen_info can be accessed directly, due to the fact that the EFI stub
and the core kernel are part of the same image. This will change after a
future patch, so let's ensure that the screen_info handling is able to
deal with this, by adopting the arm32 approach of passing it as a
configuration table. While at it, switch to ACPI reclaim memory to hold
the screen_info data, which is more appropriate for this kind of
allocation.
