[PATCH] bootstd: efi: Handle prior-stage FDT in network path

When CONFIG_OF_HAS_PRIOR_STAGE is enabled and fdtfile is not set,
efi_get_distro_fdt_name() returns -EALREADY to indicate the prior-stage
FDT should be used. The block-device EFI path handles this by setting
BOOTFLOWF_USE_PRIOR_FDT, but the network path treats it as an error,
causing the bootflow to stay in 'base' state with a -EALREADY error.
This also means fdt_addr_r is required even when no FDT download is
needed, giving a spurious -EINVAL error.
Fix this by calling efi_get_distro_fdt_name() before checking
fdt_addr_r, and handling -EALREADY by setting BOOTFLOWF_USE_PRIOR_FDT
to skip the FDT download, matching the block-device behaviour.
THere is no test for this at present, since sandbox does not enable
CONFIG_OF_HAS_PRIOR_STAGE and lacks infra for network-based EFI boot.
