[PATCH] defaultenv-2: trigger DHCP before booting 'net'

[Vivien Didelot <vivien.didelot@gmail.com>]

Some variables may be set from DHCP requests, as shown below:

    barebox@ZII VF610 Development Board, Rev C:/ echo $global.hostname
    dev-rev-c
    barebox@ZII VF610 Development Board, Rev C:/ echo $global.net.server
    0.0.0.0
    barebox@ZII VF610 Development Board, Rev C:/ dhcp
    eth0: 100Mbps full duplex link detected
    T T T eth0: DHCP client bound to address 192.168.203.31
    barebox@ZII VF610 Development Board, Rev C:/ echo $global.hostname
    zii-dev-rev-c-1
    barebox@ZII VF610 Development Board, Rev C:/ echo $global.net.server
    192.168.203.1
    barebox@ZII VF610 Development Board, Rev C:/

These variables are used by the boot/net script, so it is necessary
to trigger DHCP before we set the TFTP file paths, otherwise booting
from net will fail like below and will need to be triggered twice:

    running /env/bin/init...

    Hit m for menu or any key to stop autoboot:    1
    booting 'net'
    eth0: 100Mbps full duplex link detected
    T T T eth0: DHCP client bound to address 192.168.203.31
    WARNING: eth1: No MAC address set. Using random address 8a:ee:18:f5:98:e7

    commandline:  console=ttyLP0,115200n8 ip=dhcp
    Ucompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

To fix this, bring the interfaces up before setting up tftpboot.
