[PATCH 27/40] bootlinux: Harden update-grub/install.yml

[Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

After the kernel_release_file variable is set, ensure that
subsequent tasks check whether the release file exists so
they don't crap out.

Address some ansible-lint complaints:
 - fqcn[action-core]: Use FQCN for builtin module actions (set_fact).
 - fqcn[action-core]: Use FQCN for builtin module actions (stat).
 - name[template]: Jinja templates should only be at the end of 'name'
 - command-instead-of-shell: Use shell only when shell functionality is required.
 - fqcn[action-core]: Use FQCN for builtin module actions (shell).
 - no-changed-when: Commands should not change things if nothing needs doing.
 - fqcn[action-core]: Use FQCN for builtin module actions (set_fact).
 - fqcn[action-core]: Use FQCN for builtin module actions (set_fact).

To address "command-instead-of-shell", replace

  shell: cat {{ kernelrelease_file }}"

with the Ansible slurp module to pull the kernel release name
directly into a simple string variable.
