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

[Mario Limonciello]

>From what I've interpreted reading about the purpose of fallback.efi,
you genuinely do not want fallback.efi to exist when you are booting
from removable media.  Only when booting from the existing disk that you
may or may not have moved to another machine.

The portion of the submitted patch that removed the error message is
exactly the same thing that ended up upstream.

Bug description:
  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.
