The function efi_query_variable_store() may be invoked by efivar_entry_set_nonblocking(), which itself takes care to only call a non-blocking version of the SetVariable() runtime wrapper. However, efi_query_variable_store() may call the SetVariable() wrapper directly, as well as the wrapper for QueryVariableInfo(), both of which could deadlock in the same way we are trying to prevent by calling efivar_entry_set_nonblocking() in the first place. So instead, modify efi_query_variable_store() to use the non-blocking variants of QueryVariableInfo() (and give up rather than free up space if the available space is below EFI_MIN_RESERVE) if invoked with the 'nonblocking' argument set to true.
