Subject: [PATCH] grub-set-bootflag: Update comment about running as root

installed suid root, update the comment accordingly.

Subject: [PATCH] grub-set-bootflag: Write new env to tmpfile and then rename
Make the grubenv writing code in grub-set-bootflag more robust by
writing the modified grubenv to a tmpfile first and then renaming the
tmpfile over the old grubenv (following symlinks).
