[PATCH] defaultenv: bin/devboot: propagate exit status of boot command

[PATCH] defaultenv: bin/devboot: propagate exit status of boot command

[Ahmad Fatoum]

The script ends with cd "${saved_pwd}", so its exit status is that of
the cd and not of the boot command before it.

Save the exit status of the boot command and exit with it after
changing back to the previous directory.
