[PATCH] dfu: Prevent set_dfu_alt_info() from overwriting a previous value

If CONFIG_SET_DFU_ALT_INFO is enabled, the dfu_alt_info environment
variable is dynamically set when initializing the DFU entities, which is
done as part of normal flow of a DFU operation.

The USB DFU boot support will set it's own specific value for dfu_alt_info
before performing the DFU operation. This means that if
CONFIG_SET_DFU_ALT_INFO is enabled, the dfu_alt_info environment variable
that the USB DFU boot path had set is overwritten, causing USB DFU boot to
fail.

Likewise, if the user sets their own value for dfu_alt_info, say at the
U-Boot prompt, it get's overwritten if CONFIG_SET_DFU_ALT_INFO is enabled.

This patch will first check that dfu_alt_info isn't already set before
calling set_dfu_alt_info(), when CONFIG_SET_DFU_ALT_INFO is enabled.
