[syslinux] [PATCH] Let MEMDISK honor the quiet append option

It does the same as my construction.

My patch for MEMDISK suppresses the output of MEMDISK when "quiet" is added.
In the current implementation Syslinux only suppresses the loading progress of the
files (memdisk and mydisk.img), not the output of MEMDISK itself.

The current MEMDISK shows something like this with the quiet construction:

While my patch won't display anything for MEMDISK when quiet is added (unless a fatal error occurs).
