x86/boot: Fix early command-line parsing when partial word matches
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.
