efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively
The only thing that efivarfs does to enforce a valid filename is ensure that the name isn't too short. We need to strongly sanitise any filenames, not least because variable creation is delayed until efivarfs_file_write(), which means we can't rely on the firmware to inform us of an invalid name, because if the file is never written to we'll never know it's invalid. Perform a couple of steps before agreeing to create a new file, * hex_to_bin() returns a value indicating whether or not it was able to convert its arguments to a binary representation - we should check it. * Ensure that the GUID portion of the filename is the correct length and format. * The variable name portion of the filename needs to be at least one character in size.
