Because on powerpc (at least), it will be used in prom_init, it is very early in the boot and KASAN
shadow memory is not set up yet so calling generic string functions would crash the board.

Ah yes, since cbe46bd4f510 ("powerpc: remove CONFIG_CMDLINE #ifdef mess") it is feasible. I can
change that now.

It is to avoid adding a white space at the end of the command line when CONFIG_CMDLINE is empty. But
maybe it doesn't matter ?
