Javier Martinez Canillas a031651ff2 efi: Allow to enable EFI runtime services by default on RT 
Commit d9f283ae71 ("efi: Disable runtime services on RT") disabled EFI
runtime services by default when the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT option is enabled.

The rationale for that commit is that some EFI calls could take too much
time, leading to large latencies which is an issue for Real-Time kernels.

But a side effect of that change was that now is not possible anymore to
enable the EFI runtime services by default when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is set,
without passing an efi=runtime command line parameter to the kernel.

Instead, let's add a new EFI_DISABLE_RUNTIME boolean Kconfig option, that
would be set to n by default but to y if CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled.

That way, the current behaviour is preserved but gives users a mechanism
to enable the EFI runtimes services in their kernels if that is required.
For example, if the firmware could guarantee bounded time for EFI calls.

Also, having a separate boolean config could allow users to disable the
EFI runtime services by default even when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is not set.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
