[Bug 1297069] [NEW] During the installation under UEFI mode, "Could not open \EFI\BOOT\fallback.efi: 14" shows after passed the BIOS phase.

Public bug reported:

During the installation under UEFI mode, "Could not open
\EFI\BOOT\fallback.efi: 14" shows after passed the BIOS phase.

I checked the source code and noticed that the messages are printed in
function should_use_fallback(). If this function is just a detector then
how about simply remove the output from this function to a provide a
better user experience?

Please refer to the attached patch.
