[Bug 1872813] Re: cloud-init fails to detect iSCSI root on focal Oracle instances

[Dan Watkins]

OK, one remaining bug in that was resolved in
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sgqJ5dFg5D/.  (If there are no matches for
the pattern in the for loop, we still go through it once with the static
string as $disk, which readlink -f doesn't error on.)

Since writing the above, I've realised that we probably just want to use
`readlink -e`, which I'm working on now.
