bsdinstall: fix EFI boot entry creation
update_uefi_bootentry assumes that the caller sets FREEBSD_BOOTNAME and mntpt, which isn't the case anymore. The result is that there is no "FreeBSD" boot entry created/updated after install. Most machines manage to boot from the removable media path (if the loader is installed there too), but some don't. Take the loader's path as an argument and rename the variable used in the ZFS mirror loop so mntpt can be reused below. Also mark nentries as a local variable so it doesn't leak out of the function.
