Hm. Actually, is that going to work? From the spec:

If a preexisting variable is rewritten with different attributes,
SetVariable()shall not modify the variable and shall return
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER.

So I think we probably need to fix the attributes to NV|RT|BS for both
this call and the one in query_variable_store. We should probably also
only do the workaround if the NV bit is set in the original query.
