Before entering BIOS setup, CoreValidateHandle function executed
over 600,000 times during BDS phase on latest 8S server platform.
For current EFI handle database, InsertTailList function is used
to insert each EFI handle into the handle database. The handle
number on latest 8S server platform is over 2000 and the EFI
handles which are inserted into handle database earlier will be
used frequently. So using ForwardLink instead of Backlink to go
through the handle database in CoreValidateHandle function will
be faster. After verification on latest 8S server platform,
changing Backlink to ForwardLink can save 14s+ BDS boot time.
