Parse the mem_encrypt= command line parameter from the EFI stub if
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT=y, so that it can be passed to the early
boot code by the arch code in the stub.

This avoids the need for the core kernel to do any string parsing very
early in the boot.

With CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT having recently been
removed, I'm not sure what parsing for mem_encrypt=off does.

(Same thing in the next patch.)


We have to deal with both mem_encrypt=on and mem_encrypt=off occurring
on the command line. efi_parse_options() may be called more than once,
i.e., when there is a default command line baked into the image that
can be overridden at runtime. So if the baked in one has
mem_encrypt=on, mem_encrypt=off appearing later should counter that.

The same applies to the next patch, although the decompressor appears
to ignore the built-in command line entirely (I made a note of that in
the commit log)

Ah, makes sense.

Thanks,
Tom
