efivarfs: Fix error on non-existent file

Browse Source 
When looking up a non-existent file, efivarfs returns -EINVAL if the
file does not conform to the NAME-GUID format and -ENOENT if it does.
This is caused by efivars_d_hash() returning -EINVAL if the name is not
formatted correctly.  This error is returned before simple_lookup()
returns a negative dentry, and is the error value that the user sees.

Fix by removing this check.  If the file does not exist, simple_lookup()
will return a negative dentry leading to -ENOENT and efivarfs_create()
already has a validity check before it creates an entry (and will
correctly return -EINVAL)
