Subject: [PATCH] shim: don't set second_stage to the empty string
When LoadOptions is either L" " or L"shim.efi ", parse_load_options sets
second_stage to the empty string. This is unlikely to be what is intended, and
typically leads to a non-obvious failure mode.
The failure happens because parse_load_options's call to split_load_options
(after eating shim's own filename, if present) returns the empty string. Since
init_grub typically passes second_stage to start_image, this causes read_image
to concatenate the empty string onto the directory name. This means PathName
refers to the directory, not the path to a pe image. Then load_image
successfully opens a handle on the directory and reads "data" from it. It only
eventually fails when handle_image calls read_header which finds that this data
isn't in fact a pe header, reporting "Invalid image".
This scenario has been seen when shim is loaded via rEFInd 0.11.5, which sets
LoadOptions to the name of the shim program followed by a space character.
Instead, modify parse_load_options to leave second_stage set to its default
value rather than the empty string.
