Title:
  [SRU] [HWE] Backport gnu-efi 3.0.2 to 15.04

Status in gnu-efi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Shipping fwupdate in 15.04 (hardware enablement tool; a firmware updater tool) requires the use of gnu-efi >= 3.0.2.

  [Test Case]
  1) Attempt to build fwupdate in 15.04.
     Without gnu-efi >= 3.0.2, the build will fail to complete.
  2) build shim and sbsigntool in 15.04.
  3) verify that shim and sbsigntool run correctly when rebuilt against gnu-efi 3.0.2.

  [Regression Potential]
  Limited to EFI installations. Issues in efivar may incur specific failures at handling EFI variables; or when trying to build EFI images (which may show as unexpected behavior in these images).

  However, gnu-efi 3.0.2 is already shipping in 15.10 and has not been
  causing issues.
