[PATCH v2 04/10] SecurityPkg/DxeImageVerificationLib: avoid bypass in fetching dbx(CVE-2019-14575)

["Wang, Jian J" <jian.j.wang@intel.com>]

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1608

In timestamp check after the cert is found in db, the original code jumps
to 'Done' if any error happens in fetching dbx variable. At any of the
jump, VerifyStatus equals to TRUE, which means allowed-by-db. This should
not be allowed except to EFI_NOT_FOUND case (meaning dbx doesn't exist),
because it could be used to bypass timestamp check.

This patch add code to change VerifyStatus to FALSE in the case of memory
allocation failure and dbx fetching failure to avoid potential bypass
issue.
