Subject: [PATCH] kernel-install: only generate systemd.boot_id= in kernel
 command line if used for naming the boot loader spec files/dirs

Now that we can distinguish the naming of the boot loader spec
dirs/files and the machine ID let's tweak the logic for suffixing the
kernel cmdline with systemd.boot_id=: let's only do that when we
actually need the boot ID for naming these dirs/files. If we don't,
let's not bother.

This should be beneficial for "golden" images that shall not carry any
machine IDs at all, i.e acquire their identity only once the final
userspace is actually reached.

(cherry picked from commit 953b61004c37948dcd897265b56c1613bc73b9f9)
