memsw: handle swapaccount kernel parameter correctly

commit fceda1bf498677501befc7da72fd2e4de7f18466 upstream.

__setup based kernel command line parameters handlers which are handled in
obsolete_checksetup are provided with the parameter value including =
(more precisely everything right after the parameter name).

This means that the current implementation of swapaccount[=1|0] doesn't
work at all because if there is a value for the parameter then we are
testing for "0" resp.  "1" but we are getting "=0" resp.  "=1" and if
there is no parameter value we are getting an empty string rather than
NULL.

The original noswapccount parameter, which doesn't care about the value,
works correctly.
