Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: Simplify early command line parsing

commit 4de07ea481361b08fe13735004dafae862482d38 upstream.

__cmdline_find_option_bool() tries to account for both NULL-terminated
and non-NULL-terminated strings. It keeps 'pos' to look for the end of
the buffer and also looks for '!c' in a bunch of places to look for NULL
termination.

But, it also calls strlen(). You can't call strlen on a
non-NULL-terminated string.

If !strlen(cmdline), then cmdline[0]=='\0'. In that case, we will go in
to the while() loop, set c='\0', hit st_wordstart, notice !c, and will
immediately return 0.

So, remove the strlen().  It is unnecessary and unsafe.
