cmdline_find_option() may fail before doing any initialization of buffer array. This may lead to unpredictable results when the same buffer is used later in calls to strncmp() function. Fix the issue by returning early if cmdline_find_option() returns -1.

Fixes: aca20d546214 ("x86/mm: Add support to make use of Secure Memory Encryption") Signed-off-by: Nikita Zhandarovich <n.zhandarovich@fintech.ru> --- v2: per Borislav Petkov's <bp@alien8.de> remarks: - return early if cmdline_find_options() fails with -1 instead of zeroing out buffer; - use correct Fixes: commit hash
