xen/efi: Fix boot from a device without a file system
When netbooting a unified Xen kernel image (via GRUB chainloader),
the resulting loaded_image->DeviceHandle does not support
SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL.
Instead of crashing via noreturn PrintErrMesg() in get_parent_handle(),
we defer calling this function until filesystem access is needed.
This way when booting UKI, get_parent_handle() is not called at all.

xen/efi: Use blexit() instead of BUG_ON() in read_file()
Follow-up to 880e40b187aa, which added a BUG_ON() guard in read_file().
But as Jan pointed out, before ExitBootServices BUG_ON()
is not functional. It results in a hang with no message.
On the other hand blexit() prints a message and returns back
to the bootloader.
Fixes: 880e40b187aa ("xen/efi: Fix boot from a device without a file
system")
