Prevent a crash when PXE boot calls do_bootm with a vmlinuz formatted image.
In this case, there will be a null cmdtp pointer, and we must not dereference
it.

In file cmd_pxe.c around line 697 is a call:

do_bootm(NULL, 0, bootm_argc, bootm_argv);

Notice that the first argument is NULL.  Therefore, the cmdtp
pointer will always be NULL when using the pxe boot mechanism.

do_bootm() eventually calls boot_get_kernel(), still with cmdtp == NULL.
In the Wandboard case, the vmlinuz binary is not "legacy format", nor is
it "fit format", so U-Boot attempts to print:

printf("Wrong Image Format for %s command\n", cmdtp->name);

That is doomed to fail, because cmdtp is NULL.  The following patch corrects
the problem; the command name will be printed only if the pointer is valid.
