Ensure efivars are mounted before installing a UEFI bootloader (mga#31008)
The old way of accessing EFI NVRAM variables via /sys/firmware/efi/vars was removed in Linux 6.0. The new way is to use the efivarfs pseudo- filesystem, which is usually mounted at /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. We need to make sure this is actually mounted before attempting to install a UEFI bootloader, otherwise any attempt to write to the EFI NVRAM will fail.
