[U-Boot] [PATCH] distro: not taint environment variables if possible

The aim of this patch is not to have temporary variables used in
distro_bootcmd left as environment variables after run something.
See the discussion[1].
Without this patch, saveenv command also saves those variables, too.
While they are apparently safe, scsi_need_init can be harmful.

Please note that, in most cases, a variable should be converted to
hush's local variable, while "devplist" cannot because it is created
by "part" command as an environment variable.
