kern/efi/mm: Reset grub_mm_add_region_fn after ExitBootServices() call

The EFI Boot Services can be used after ExitBootServices() call because
the GRUB code still may allocate memory.

An example call stack is:

  grub_multiboot_boot
    grub_multiboot2_make_mbi
      grub_efi_finish_boot_services
        b->exit_boot_services
    normal_boot
      grub_relocator32_boot
        grub_relocator_alloc_chunk_align_safe
          grub_relocator_alloc_chunk_align
            grub_malloc
              grub_memalign
                grub_mm_add_region_fn
                [= grub_efi_mm_add_regions]
                  grub_efi_allocate_any_pages
                    grub_efi_allocate_pages_real
                      b->allocate_pages

This can lead to confusing errors. After ExitBootServices() call
b->allocate_pages may point to the NULL address resulting in something like:

Ideally we would like to avoid all memory allocations after exiting EFI
Boot Services altogether but that requires significant code changes. This
patch adds a simple workaround that resets grub_mm_add_region_fn to NULL
after ExitBootServices() call, so:

  - Memory allocations have a better chance of succeeding because grub_memalign()
    will try to reclaim the disk cache if it sees a NULL in grub_mm_add_region_fn.

  - At worst it will fail to allocate memory but it will explicitly tell users
    that it's out of memory, which is still much better than the current
    situation where it fails in a fairly random way and triggers a CPU fault.
