kernel: efivarfs: force RO when remounting if SetVariable is not supported

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, which involves the improper handling of the efivarfs filesystem when the firmware does not support the SetVariable function at runtime. Specifically, even if efivarfs is initially mounted as read-only RO, it can be remounted as read-write RW without checking ...
