Medium 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: efi: fix potential NULL deref in efi_mem_reserve_persistent When iterating on a linked list, a result of memremap is dereferenced without checking it for NULL.

[ardb: return -ENOMEM instead of breaking out of the loop]
