We probably should fix this by using by-uuid instead of by-id; we also
set UUID= for /boot/efi in the fstab. This should make it work as all
ESPs should have UUIDs.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  It is not possible to setup resilient boot in VMs using virtio-blk, as grub-multi-install does not recognize virtio-blk devices as valid ESPs

  [Test plan]
  Setup a VM with two virtio-blk devices, try to dpkg-reconfigure shim-signed and select ESPs on both devices.

  [Where problems could occur]
  TBD
