lkdtm: Add case to provoke a crash in EFI runtime services

Add a lkdtm test case that triggers a fault during the execution of a
EFI runtime service by passing a read-only variable as a by-ref argument
that the firmware is supposed to update.

This is useful for testing the graceful handling of faults/exception in
EFI platform firmware, which is implemented on x86 and arm64.
