QEMU fw_cfg file system driver is the sole user of
defaultenv_append_runtime_directory() and it passes a path that's not
necessarily available.
When that happens, this is not noticed until the loop in defaultenv_load()
aborts early with an -ENOENT preventing load of an external environment.
Fix this as by not adding the directory if it doesn't exist.

v1 -> v2:
- move stat outside of probe, otherwise we end up with the mount
twice, because the automount triggers before the probe is complete
and the DCACHE_MOUNTED flag is set.

Failure to load one defaultenv has no bearing on whether subsequent
defaultenv loads would succeed, so do not abort the loop early in that
case.

We currently depend on the order of the calls to defaultenv_append() to
decide which overlays to apply first.
To ensure the base environment is always loaded first, all of
defaultenv_append(), defaultenv_append_runtime_directory() and
defaultenv_load() call defaultenv_add_base() first.
Simplify this by adding base and external (i.e. from the BSP) defaultenv
in the earliest initcall.
This has a welcome side effect: Previously, fw_cfg env was applied
before an external defaultenv, but now it's applied afterwards and thus
can override it.
