x86/boot: Simplify early command line parsing __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.
