Currently both efi-pstore and efibc rely in simple for-loops to convert from regular char pointers to u16/unicode strings; efibc has even a nice helper to perform such work. So, let's export this helper to common EFI code to prevent code duplication (like in efi-pstore); this helper will also be used in a subsequent patch (adding a new module). Notice that efi-pstore didn't write the end NULL char in the unicode string before this patch, but this should not change anything. No functional change is expected here. Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.
