[GIT PULL] bootconfig: Fixes for v7.4-rc1

[Masami Hiramatsu (Google)]

Linus,

Bootconfig fixes for v7.4-rc1:

- init/bootconfig: Pass init arguments in documented order
  Parse extra_init_args before command-line init arguments in
  start_kernel(). This ensures command-line options take precedence over
  bootconfig, matching the documented order and saved command line.

    init/bootconfig: pass init arguments in documented order
    
    start_kernel() appends command-line init arguments before
    bootconfig init arguments, while setup_command_line()
    places them in the opposite order. As a result, the
    arguments passed to init do not match the saved command
    line, reversing the intended precedence of options.
    
    Parse extra_init_args before after_dashes so command-line
    init arguments are passed last.
