Subject: pstore: Fix duplicate {console,ftrace}-efi entries

commit d4bf205da618bbd0b038e404d646f14e76915718 upstream.

The pstore filesystem still creates duplicate filename/inode pairs for
some pstore types.  Add the id to the filename to prevent that.

Before patch:

[/sys/fs/pstore] ls -li
total 0
1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi
1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi
1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi
1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi
1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi
1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi
1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi
1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi
1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi

After:

[/sys/fs/pstore] ls -li
