Describe the Issue
When Flushing Handlers The following errors are encountered:
When /boot/grub2/user.cfg does not exist {{ rhel7stig_grub2_user_cfg }} does not get registered and "confirm grub2 user cfg" and "make grub2 config" tasks fail, causing the rest of the handlers not to run.
Expected Behavior
The tasks mentioned should be able to handle the {{ rhel7stig_grub2_user_cfg }} not being registered
Actual Behavior
The tasks mentioned fail with the following errors:

Control(s) Affected
All controls that rely on the Grub handlers and everything after that
Environment (please complete the following information):
branch being used: devel (current)
Ansible Version: 2.11.12
Host Python Version: 2.7.5
Ansible Server Python Version: 3.6.8
Additional Details: Error has been occurring for some time now.
Additional Notes
N/A
Possible Solution
In the conditionals that checks to see if rhel7stig_grub2_user_cfg.stat.exists is true, add an and statement to check to see if is also defined.
