[PATCH v2 1/3] globalvar: suppress nvvar_save when no external environment was loaded

[Ahmad Fatoum]

nvvar_save will load the extenral environment before writing it back
with nv changed, which we means we still end up parsing the environment
in this case, even if we don't execute init scripts or import nv out of
it.

Fix this to only parse the environment when we actually loaded it
before.
