bootstd: Avoid freeing a non-allocated buffer
EFI applications can be very large and thus used to cause boot failures
when malloc() space was exhausted.
A recent changed fixed this by using the kernel_addr_r environment var
as the address of the buffer. However, it still frees the buffer when
the bootflow is discarded.
Fix this by introducing a flag to indicate whether the buffer was
allocated, or not.
Note that kernel_addr_r is not the last word here. It might be better
to use lmb to place images. But there is a lot of refactoring to do
before we can remove the environment variables. The distro scripts rely
on them so it is safe for bootstd to do so too.
