x86/efi: Hoist page table switching code into efi_call_virt()

This change is a prerequisite for pending patches that switch to
a dedicated EFI page table, instead of using 'trampoline_pgd'
which shares PGD entries with 'swapper_pg_dir'. The pending
patches make it impossible to dereference the runtime service
function pointer without first switching %cr3.

It's true that we now have duplicated switching code in
efi_call_virt() and efi_call_phys_{prolog,epilog}() but we are
sacrificing code duplication for a little more clarity and the
ease of writing the page table switching code in C instead of
asm.
