grub-reboot: Warn when "for the next boot only" promise cannot be kept

Browse source 
The "for the next boot only" property of grub-reboot is dependent upon
GRUB being able to clear the next_entry variable in the environment
block. However, GRUB cannot write to devices using the diskfilter
and lvm abstractions.
