[PATCH v1] ALSA: hda/tas2781: Fix a potential race condition that causes a NULL pointer in case no efi.get_variable exsits

A a potential race condition reported by one of my customers that leads to a NULL pointer dereference, where the call to efi.get_variable should be guarded with efi_rt_services_supported() to ensure that function exists.
