Call hwmatch only on the grub-pc platform

Call hwmatch only on i386/pc as it is only available there.
This avoids "error: can't find command `hwmatch'." on e.g., x86_64/efi.

The equivalent behavior is linux_gfx_mode=keep because grub is special:
the `if hwmatch` clause is true on that error and `$match = 0` is true
too, as it is undefined (confirmed in grub shell.) A quick fix for now.

Before and After:

    grub> hwmatch
    error: can't find command `hwmatch'.

    grub> echo $grub_platform
    efi

    grub> echo $linux_gfx_mode
    keep
