Subject: [PATCH 1/2] efi: add a function for transferring status to string

This function can be used to transfer EFI status code to string
for printing out debug message. Using this function can improve
the readability of log.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] efi: print appropriate status message when loading certificates

When loading certificates list from UEFI variable, the original error
message direct shows the efi status code from UEFI firmware. It looks
ugly:

[ 2.335031] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[ 2.335032] Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT
[ 2.339985] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[ 2.339987] Couldn't get UEFI dbx list

So, this patch shows the status string instead of status code.

On the other hand, the error message of EFI_NOT_FOUND
(0x800000000000000e) doesn't need to be exposed because kernel
already prints "Couldn't get UEFI..." message. This patch also
filtered out it.

Why is it an error in the first place if these EFI variables do not exist?

As you said, the error message should only be exposed when
these EFI variables exist. I will change it in next version of
my patch.

Thanks a lot!
