Subject: [PATCH 197/237] blscfg: Always use the root variable to search for
 BLS snippets

The boot and root variables are set by grub2-mkconfig to tell GRUB what
are the devices and partitions used as the EFI System Partition (ESP)
and to store the /boot directory (or used as the /boot mount point).

But the boot variable is not needed anymore, this was added because the
blscfg module used to search for the BLS snippets in the ESP, but was
later changed to always search for the BLS files in /boot even for EFI.

When doing that change, the logic was made backwards and so the boot
variable is wrongly used for legacy BIOS. This only works because this
is set to the same value as the root variable.

So the correct thing to do is to always use the root variable to search
the BLS snippets, since that is set to the partition that stores them.
