[U-Boot] [PATCH] efi_loader: variable: attributes may not be changed if a variable exists

If a variable already exists, efi_set_variable() should not change the variable's attributes. This patch enforces it.

This patch let's `bootefi selftest`fail:
Executing 'variables' lib/efi_selftest/efi_selftest_variables.c(60): TODO: QueryVariableInfo failed lib/efi_selftest/efi_selftest_variables.c(119): ERROR: SetVariable failed lib/efi_selftest/efi_selftest.c(110): ERROR: Executing 'variables' failed
The preferred solution would be to implement APPEND_WRITE.
Otherwise at least adjust the unit test concerning APPEND_WRITE to use efi_st_todo() and not to abort the test.
I suggest that you always run `bootefi selftest` before submitting changes to the UEFI sub-system.

Since the current code doesn't supoort APPEND_WRITE, my commit doesn't break anything. You should fix selftest first.
I don't have an immediate plan to implement APPEND_WRITE for now.

You are freeing val. But this value was not allocated by you.
I saw this with `bootefi selftest` after applying
