File grub2-efi-chainloader-root.patch of Package grub2.9568

From: Raymund Will <rw@suse.com>
Subject:  Use device part of chainloader target, if present.
References: bnc#871857, bnc#880177
Patch-Mainline: no

Otherwise chainloading is restricted to '$root', which might not even
be readable by EFI!

v1. use grub_file_get_device_name() to get device name
