If the firmware happens to return 0 as an address of allocated pages,
grub_efi_allocate_pages_real() tries to allocate a new set of pages,
and then free the ones at address 0.

However at that point grub_efi_store_alloc() wasn't yet called, so
freeing the pages at 0 using grub_efi_free_pages() which calls
grub_efi_drop_alloc() isn't necessary, so let's call b->free_pages()
instead.

The call to grub_efi_drop_alloc() doesn't seem particularly harmful,
because it seems to do nothing if the allocation it is asked to drop
isn't on the list, but the call to it is obviously unnecessary here.
