[PATCH 2/2] efi: show error messages only when loading certificates is failed

When loading certificates list from EFI variables, the error
message and efi status code always be emitted to dmesg. It looks
ugly:

[    2.335031] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[    2.335032] Couldn't get UEFI MokListRT
[    2.339985] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
[    2.339987] Couldn't get UEFI dbx list

This cosmetic patch moved the messages to the error handling code
path. And, it also shows the corresponding status string of status
code.
