Subject: [PATCH] ShellPkg: Fix erroneous Status returned by 
ShellOpenFileByName()

In ShellOpenFileByName() the file is opened using
gEfiShellProtocol->OpenFileByName().
It is supposed that if this call returns an EFI_ERROR, the function should 
return that error immediately. However, this return was missing, and if 
UnicodeCollationProtocol has not been located by this time, the Status gets 
overwritten with LocateProtocol() call result, which eventually erroneously 
returns EFI_SUCCESS to the Shell.c, and this leads to attempt to execute a 
non-existent startup script, which fails, and which in turn leads to Shell 
being unloaded with "Invalid parameter"
error. This patch fixes the bug.
