[Bug 1468186] [NEW] grub-mount process using 100% core cpu

[dino99]

Public bug reported:

Having upgrade to that latest grub2 version, and now i need to kill the
grub-mount process into system-monitor, because it continously use 100 %
core .

That has never been seen before that version:
grub2 (2.02~beta2-26ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  * debian/build-efi-images: look for grub.cfg in $cmdpath too in
gcdx64.efi, to simplify embedded scenarios: putting a grub.cfg snippet
that loads the right "real" grub.cfg can be useful. (LP: #1468111)

This system is quite old, so there is no efi here; and this upgrade
seems to persist scanning to try finding something that does not exist.
Needs to  abort itself the process  in such a case, or better, do not
start it on system with simple bios.
