[U-Boot] [PATCH] NetLoop initialization bug

The patch fixes the bug of partial initialization of global network
parameters.

Upon u-boot's start up the first ping command causes a failure of the
consequent TFTP transfers. It happens in the recently added mechanism of
NetLoop initialization where initialization of global network parameters is
separated in the NetInitLoop routine which is called per env_id change.
Thus, ping request will initialize the network parameters necessary
for ping operation only, afterwards the env_changed_id will be set
to the env_id that will prevent all following initialization requests
from other protocols.
The problem is that the initialized by ping subset of network parameters
is not sufficient for other protocols and particularly for TFTP
which requires the NetServerIp also.
