[PATCH] bootstd: Fix relative path use in extlinux bootmeth

Using relative path in a /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file fails to load
linux kernel.

Using a /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file:

  LABEL test
    LINUX ../linux/Image

Result in following error:

  Retrieving file: ../linux/Image
  Skipping test for failure retrieving kernel
  Boot failed (err=-14)

However, using sysboot cmd successfully load kernel using same file:

  sysboot mmc 1:1 any ${scriptaddr} /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

  Retrieving file: /boot/extlinux/../linux/Image

Fix relative path using bootmeth extlinux by supplying bootfile path
instead of subdir path in the call to pxe_setup_ctx, same as done in the
sysboot command.
