Title:
  error in snap_validate_seed: kern_major_min: unbound variable

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * Livecd-rootfs live-builds will fail for images where
  snap_validate_seed is called in hooks where a kernel is not present.

   * It's very low impact, as snap seeding needs a kernel to properly
  set apparmor features, but there is nonetheless a logic bug in the
  variable scope, leading to an error if a binary hook uses `set -u`

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Running a livebuild against an image target calling
  snap_validate_seed with no kernel would surface the error (e.g.
  https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Hwn3wMbGtS/)

  
  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * The code is mostly the same, but hoisting the declaration to the
  function top instead of inside branch.

   * a needless call to umount/mount the generic overlay might happen if
  the other conditional branch erroneously triggers.
