[PATCH v2 2/4] fs: qemu_fw_cfg: handle non-existent opt/org.barebox.env key gracefully

QEMU fw_cfg file system driver is the sole user of
defaultenv_append_runtime_directory() and it passes a path that's not
necessarily available.
When that happens, this is not noticed until the loop in defaultenv_load()
aborts early with an -ENOENT preventing load of an external environment.
Fix this as by not adding the directory if it doesn't exist.
Fixes: 31dfb561d1a4 ("fs: qemu_fw_cfg: support populating environment via QEMU fw_cfg")

v1 -> v2:
- move stat outside of probe, otherwise we end up with the mount
twice, because the automount triggers before the probe is complete
and the DCACHE_MOUNTED flag is set.
