[U-Boot] [PATCH for-v2014.10?] pxe: Ensure we don't overflow bootargs

From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell at citrix.com>

On a couple of platforms I've tripped over long PXE append lines overflowing
this array, due to having CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE == 256. When doing preseeded Debian
installs it's pretty trivial to exceed that.

Since the symptom can be a silent hang or a crash add a check. Of course the
affected boards would also need an increased CBSIZE to actually work.

Note that due to the printing of the final bootargs string CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE
also needs to be sufficiently large.

I think this is v2014.10 material?
