commit d80ca810f096ff66f451e7a3ed2f0cd9ef1ff519 upstream.

Currently, the non-x86 stub code calls get_memory_map() redundantly,
given that the data it returns is never used anywhere. So drop the call.

In mainline, map is not used after this point.

But in 5.10, map is passed to

        status = efi_exit_boot_services(handle, &map, &priv, exit_boot_func);

few lines below. Can someone verify this reasoning still holds?

Thanks and best regards,
