The same as in the previous patch, add a support for installing grub
into an extended partition.
Here, we do not ignore extended partitions anymore. Instead we call a
hook that makes sure we have the partition when installing.

Apply this logic only to primary extended partition. Ignore extended
partitions that are used to link together logical partitions.
