Log:
  efirtc: Pass a dummy tmcap pointer to efi_get_time_locked
  
  As noted in the comment, UEFI spec claims the capabilities pointer is
  optional, but some implementations will choke and attempt to dereference it
  without checking. This specific problem was found on a Lenovo Thinkpad X220
  that would panic in efirtc_identify.
