[PATCH master] sandbox: fix unreliable block device detection

If barebox detects that an --image file is a block device, it will try
to represent it as a block device internally as well, provided that
the user didn't explicitly specify that it should be mapped as a
character device instead. The hf_info::is_cdev member used to indicate
this override wasn't initialized though, so detection was unreliable,
Fix this.
