[Bug 1815002] Re: quick-boot-lvm.patch caused regression - menu always appear if root is on Btrfs

The bug went unnoticed because UEFI plus /boot on btrfs is a corner case
that is not widely used by the Ubuntu developers.  Nevertheless, this
configuration does NOT reliably allow the user to reach the boot menu
with the default timeout of 0.  It is more important to be reliable by
default than to be fast by default.

  In my case menu starting to always appear on various devices from
  small tablets to workstations. First time it happened with laptop
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/736743/comments/95
  and since then more devices became affected. I not 100% sure, but
  seems like at least one unsuccessfully boot is required to reproduce
  this issue, but maybe I am mistake here and issue starting to happen
  for all Btrfs users.
