Commit 732ea9db9d8a ("efi: libstub: Move screen_info handling to common code") reorganized the earlycon handling so that all architectures pass the screen_info data via a EFI config table instead of populating struct screen_info directly, as the latter is only possible when the EFI stub is baked into the kernel (and not into the decompressor). However, this means that struct screen_info may not have been populated yet by the time the earlycon probe takes place, and this results in a non-functional early console. So let's probe again right after parsing the config tables and populating struct screen_info. Note that this means that earlycon output starts a bit later than before, and so it may fail to capture issues that occur while doing the early EFI initialization.
