[08/17] Allow efi_free() to be called with size of 0, and do nothing in that case.

Commit Message

Make efi_free() safely callable with size of 0, similar to free() being
callable with NULL pointers.
Remove size checks that this makes redundant.  This also avoids some
size checks in the ARM EFI stub code that will be added as well.
