grub-efi build fails with the following error on Fedora 26:

| ../grub-2.00/util/raid.c: In function 'grub_util_raid_getmembers':
| ../grub-2.00/util/raid.c:91:13: error: In the GNU C Library, "makedev"
is defined
|  by <sys/sysmacros.h>. For historical compatibility, it is
|  currently defined by <sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to
|  remove this soon. To use "makedev", include <sys/sysmacros.h>
|  directly. If you did not intend to use a system-defined macro
|  "makedev", you should undefine it after including <sys/types.h>.
[-Werror]
|         makedev (disk.major, disk.minor));
|              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Resolve the build error by backporting the fix from upstream.

+Subject: [PATCH] configure: fix check for sys/sysmacros.h under glibc 2.25+
+
+glibc 2.25 still includes sys/sysmacros.h in sys/types.h but also emits
+deprecation warning. So test for sys/types.h succeeds in configure but later
+compilation fails because we use -Werror by default.
+
+While this is fixed in current autoconf GIT, we really cannot force everyone
+to use bleeding edge (that is not even released right now). So run test under
+-Werror as well to force proper detection.
+
+This should have no impact on autoconf 2.70+ as AC_HEADER_MAJOR in this version
+simply checks for header existence.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=07662af7aed55bcec448bc2a6610de1f0cb62100]
