 This is a workaround for #9440

 Confronted with a sig02+act01 'delegated lease', OFW calls the initrd with
 an 'activate' command.

 The 'activate' codepath in the initrd trusts OFW, and does not re-check
 the FS. In this case, where OFW trails userland in its understanding of
 sig formats, this is an issue.

 To workaround this issue, re-check the FS to ensure we don't have a valid
 lease before starting to look for one.

 This adds approx 2 seconds to the boot time -- only until #9440 is fixed.
