commit 477d08478170469d10b533624342d13701e24b34 upstream.

Since the parse_args() stops parsing at '--', bootconfig_params()
will never get the '--' as param and initargs_found never be true.
In the result, if we pass some init arguments via the bootconfig,
those are always appended to the kernel command line with '--'
even if the kernel command line already has '--'.

To fix this correctly, check the return value of parse_args()
and set initargs_found true if the return value is not an error
but a valid address.
