This fixes a bug. The 90-uki-copy.install kernel-install plugin insists
uki's have the .efi extension. You only hit this if you set layout=uki
in /etc/kernel/install.conf.
layout=uki is probably what you want if you set uefi=yes in dracut.conf
because in this layout the uki's end up on the ESP. This is required to
load the uki directly from efi firmware.

Subject: [PATCH] dist-kernel-utils.eclass: fix extension of generated
efi file
If kernel-install is configured to use the uki layout the extension of
the efi
file that we install has to be .efi otherwise kernel-install returns an
error.
