eval: avoid leaking memory associated with redirections
The following constructs result in ever-increasing memory usage:

  while true; do { true; } </dev/null; done
  while true; do ( true; ) </dev/null; done

For comparison, bash displays static memory usage in both cases.

This issue was reported for BusyBox ash which is derived from dash:

I have simplified evaltree so that it simply sets the stack mark
unconditionally.  This allows us to remove the stack marks in the
functions called by evaltree.
