Title:
  /etc/grub.d/10_linux_zfs fail when zpool import output to stdout

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ## 1. Symptoms, `update-grub` fails with "no such pool"

  ### output
  	benjamin at x250:~$ sudo update-grub
  	Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub'
  	Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub.d/init-select.cfg'
  	Generating grub configuration file ...
  	cannot open 'This': no such pool

  ### debug output

  	+ imported_pools=This pool uses the following feature(s) not supported by this system:
  		com.delphix:spacemap_v2 (Space maps representing large segments are more efficient.)
  		org.zfsonlinux:project_quota (space/object accounting based on project ID.)
  	All unsupported features are only required for writing to the pool.
  	The pool can be imported using '-o readonly=on'.
  	This pool uses the following feature(s) not supported by this system:

  	All unsupported features are only required for writing to the pool.
  	The pool can be imported using '-o readonly=on'.
  	+ on_exit
  	+ zpool export This
  	cannot open 'This': no such pool

  ## 2. Cause
  	Only the stderr of `zpool import -f -a -o cachefile=none -N` is sent to /dev/null so when the 
  	command outputs on stdout everything ends up in the `imported_pools` variable

  ## 3. Quick fix
  	in /etc/grub.d/10_linux_zfs:67, replace:
  		zpool import -f -a -o cachefile=none -N 2>/dev/null
  	by
  		zpool import -f -a -o cachefile=none -N >/dev/null 2>&1
