[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools/pygrub: Fix error handling if no valid partitions are found

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If no partitions at all are found, pygrub never creates the name 'fs',
resulting in a NameError indicating the lack of fs, rather than a
RuntimeError explaining that no partitions were found.

Set fs to None right at the start, and use the pythonic idiom "if fs is None:"
to protect against otherwise valid values for fs which compare equal to
0/False.
