efi: move screen_info into efi init code After the vga console no longer relies on global screen_info, there are only two remaining use cases: - on the x86 architecture, it is used for multiple boot methods (bzImage, EFI, Xen, kexec) to commucate the initial VGA or framebuffer settings to a number of device drivers. - on other architectures, it is only used as part of the EFI stub, and only for the three sysfb framebuffers (simpledrm, simplefb, efifb). Remove the duplicate data structure definitions by moving it into the efi-init.c file that sets it up initially for the EFI case, leaving x86 as an exception that retains its own definition for non-EFI boots. The added #ifdefs here are optional, I added them to further limit the reach of screen_info to configurations that have at least one of the users enabled.

efi/libstub: Use relocated version of kernel's struct screen_info In some cases, we expose the kernel's struct screen_info to the EFI stub directly, so it gets populated before even entering the kernel. This means the early console is available as soon as the early param parsing happens, which is nice. It also means we need two different ways to pass this information, as this trick only works if the EFI stub is baked into the core kernel image, which is not always the case. Huacai reports that the preparatory refactoring that was needed to implement this alternative method for zboot resulted in a non-functional efifb earlycon for other cases as well, due to the reordering of the kernel image relocation with the population of the screen_info struct, and the latter now takes place after copying the image to its new location, which means we copy the old, uninitialized state. So let's ensure that the same-image version of alloc_screen_info() produces the correct screen_info pointer, by taking the displacement of the loaded image into account.
