    EFI loader: Don't free bcache for DEVT_DISK devs
    
    Booting on an EC2 c5.xlarge instance, this reduces the number of I/Os
    performed from 609 to 432, reduces the total number of blocks read
    from 61963 to 60797, and reduces the time spent in the loader by 39 ms.
    
    Note that b4cb3fe0e39a allowed the bcache to be retained for most of
    the boot process, but relies on mounting filesystems; this commit
    allows the bcache to be retained at the start of the boot process,
    before the root filesystem has been located.
