[PATCH 2/5] x86: fix early command-line parsing, when partial word match

[Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net>]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

cmdline_find_option_bool() keeps track of position in two strings:
1. the command-line
2. the option we are searchign for in the command-line

We plow through each character in the command-line one at a time,
always moving forward.  We move forward in the option ('opptr')
when we match characters in 'cmdline'.  We reset the 'opptr' only
when we go in to the 'st_wordstart' state.

But, if we fail to match an option because we see a space (
state=st_wordcmp, *opptr='\0',c=' '), we set state='st_wordskip'
and 'break', moving to the next character.  But, that move to
the next character is the one *after* the ' '.  This means that
we will miss a 'st_wordstart' state.

For instance, if we have

	cmdline = "foo fool";

and are searching for "fool", we have:

	"fool"
opptr = ----^

	"foo fool"
c = --------^

We see that 'l' != ' ', set state=st_wordskip, break, and then
move 'c', so:

	"foo fool"
c = ---------^

and are still in state=st_wordskip.  We will stay in wordskip
until we have skipped "fool", thus missing the option we were
looking for.  This *only* happens when you have a partially-
matching word followed by a matching one.

To fix this, we always fall *into* the 'st_wordskip' state when
we set it.
