Message:

loongarch: grub: Update references to BLFS

Now BLFS documents how to install only the GRUB components missing in
LFS, take the advantage.

Also if efibootmgr is available, it's easier to just run grub-install
w/o the --removable option instead of manually input some nasty
efibootmgr commands.

(cherry picked from commit c6e4dbaee6d2e0c0801d48ed13f708e072de1ea5)
