[U-Boot] [PATCH] common, env: optimize boottime

when creating the hashtable, for each environmentvariable getenv(ENV_CALLBACK_VAR) and getenv(ENV_FLAGS_VAR) is called, which costs at this point a lot of time. So call this two getenv() calls only once.
Boottime on the ids8313 board without this patch:
