Title:
EFI: Fails when BootCurrent entry does not exist
Status in curtin package in Ubuntu:

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Split out of bug 1894217.
We're seeing a situation where curtin fails when the variable
BootCurrent references does not exist.
At boot, efibootmgr -v shows:
BootCurrent: 0003
Timeout: 10 seconds
BootOrder: 0003,0004,0005,0006,0001
Note that there are actually no individual boot entries in this
output. BootCurrent and BootOrder are referencing Boot entries that do
not apepar to exist.
Later, curtin tries to set a new BootOrder that places the value of
BootCurrent at the front. This causes efibootmgr to error out,
apparently escalating to an installation failure:
UEFI efibootmgr output after install:
{'current': '0003', 'timeout': '10 seconds', 'order': ['0000'],
'entries': {'0000': {'name
': 'ubuntu', 'path':
'HD(1,GPT,0937ffdf-628c-4161-8b2f-5920235669c6,0x800,0x100000)/File(\\EFI\\ub
untu\\shimx64.efi)'}}}
Setting currently booted 0003 as the first UEFI loader.
