xen/efi: Fix boot from a device without a file system

When netbooting a unified Xen kernel image (via GRUB chainloader),
the resulting loaded_image->DeviceHandle does not support
SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL.

Instead of crashing via noreturn PrintErrMesg() in get_parent_handle(),
we defer calling this function until filesystem access is needed.
This way when booting UKI, get_parent_handle() is not called at all.
