./qemu-upstream-latest -boot reboot-timeout=1000 ...
(after boot failed, VM waits for 1000 ms and try to reboot)
reboot-timeout parameter doesn't work now, I found this regression bug

romfile_add() is used to add rom files in the list.
When seabios calls boot_fail(), the list becomes empty,
romfile_find("etc/boot-fail-wait", ..) returns NULL.
it seems the list items are released prematurely.
