[PATCH] x86/tsc: Fix early boot crash with bare tsc_early_khz parameter

[Thorsten Blum]

When a bare tsc_early_khz parameter is specified on the kernel command
line without the '=' separator, early parameter parsing passes NULL to
tsc_early_khz_setup(), which dereferences it in kstrtouint() and can
crash the system during early boot.

Reject a NULL argument in tsc_early_khz_setup() by returning -EINVAL so
early parameter parsing reports the malformed option instead.
