Lee, Chun-Yi eccaf52fee x86, efi: initial the local variable of DataSize to zero
That will be better initial the value of DataSize to zero for the input of
GetVariable(), otherwise we will feed a random value. The debug log of input
DataSize like this:

...
[  195.915612] EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17
[  195.915819] efi: size: 18446744071581821342
[  195.915969] efi:  size': 18446744071581821342
[  195.916324] efi: size: 18446612150714306560
[  195.916632] efi:  size': 18446612150714306560
[  195.917159] efi: size: 18446612150714306560
[  195.917453] efi:  size': 18446612150714306560
...

The size' is value that was returned by BIOS.

After applied this patch:
[   82.442042] EFI Variables Facility v0.08 2004-May-17
[   82.442202] efi: size: 0
[   82.442360] efi:  size': 1039
[   82.443828] efi: size: 0
[   82.444127] efi:  size': 2616
[   82.447057] efi: size: 0
[   82.447356] efi:  size': 5832
...

Found on Acer Aspire V3 BIOS, it will not return the size of data if we input a
non-zero DataSize.
