[syslinux] ldlinux: CurrentDir not set if syslinux.cfg is missing

If a syslinux floppy does not contain a config file (syslinux.cfg) modules are
not being found unless specified with a directory prefix (e.g. /pcitest.c32).
The reason is that CurrentDir is only set if there is a config file present. This is a
possible regression since commit 68eefb79e2cbb590ebf958dd0c50ce00b941abd2.
Before this change RootDir was used in searchdir and now it's CurrentDir unless
the filename starts with '/'. Possible fix is to set CurrentDir to RootDir if no config
file is found.
