rS344718: EFI: don't call printf after ExitBootServices, since it uses Boot Services

Summary

ExitBootServices terminates all boot services including console access. Attempting
to call printf afterwards can result in a crash, depending on the implementation.

So, we need to move any printf statements to before we call bi_load, and remove any that
depend on calling bi_load first.

Test Plan

Tested on i386 (MinnowBoard Turbot): loader now proceeds to the point where it starts executing the kernel
I'm running a "make tinderbox" to verify that arm still builds.

89 ↗	(On Diff #54443)	It is not really about allocations - loader does still use the pre-allocated heap, but it is about the need to avoid calling Boot Services (note, Runtime Services are ok). And printf() is directly related to BS because we do use SimpleTextOutputProtocol.
