I reverted the following commits ...

4c7260011e21 (gnu: grub: Update to 2.02~beta3.)
358db0041f09 (gnu: grub: Make dependency on mdadm explicit.)

... on top of 1cd1d8a7ea43 (offload: Call 'machine-load' only once per
machine.)

I had to revert the second commit since it depended on changes in the
first.

I reconfigured and rebooted, but this didn't fix the problem for me.
