x86/corruption-check: Fix panic in memory_corruption_check() when boot option without value is provided
memory_corruption_check[{_period|_size}]()'s handlers do not check input
argument before passing it to kstrtoul() or simple_strtoull(). The argument
would be a NULL pointer if each of the kernel parameters, without its
value, is set in command line and thus cause the following panic.
PANIC: early exception 0xe3 IP 10:ffffffff73587c22 error 0 cr2 0x0
