if, for whatever reason, the nfsboot env var has been
modified/deleted, one can't restore it via the command line
because it doesn't fit in the buffer.  Currently command-line typing
stops 2 chars short of its full definition, i.e,. at the 2nd 'd' in
'fdtaddr':

=> setenv nfsboot 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=$serverip:$rootpath ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname:$netdev:off console=$consoledev,$baudrate $othbootargs;tftp $loadaddr $bootfile;tftp $fdtaddr $fdtfile;bootm $loadaddr - $fdtadd

this patch avoids this unnecessary inconvenience.
