Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ktest.pl: Fix incorrect reboot for grub2bls

This issue was first noticed when I was testing different kernels on
Oracle Linux 8 which as Fedora 30+ adopts BLS as default. Even though a
kernel entry was added successfully and the index of that kernel entry was
retrieved correctly, ktest still wouldn't reboot the system into
user-specified kernel.

The bug was spotted in subroutine reboot_to where the if-statement never
checks for REBOOT_TYPE "grub2bls", therefore the desired entry will not be
set for the next boot.

Add a check for "grub2bls" so that $grub_reboot $grub_number can
be run before a reboot if REBOOT_TYPE is "grub2bls" then we can boot to
the correct kernel.

Fixes: ac2466456eaa ("ktest: introduce grub2bls REBOOT_TYPE option")
