EFI: refine cfgfile buffer allocation

Use of AllocateMaxAddress requires that the variable pointed to by the
last argument of ->AllocatePages() is initialized. For cfgfile buffers we
don't need AllocateMaxAddress though, at which point initialization of
"addr" also isn't necessary anymore.

Mirror the lack of address constraint also to the main / central buffer
allocation in read_file().
