From: Nikita Zhandarovich <n.zhandarovich@xxxxxxxxxx> commit cbebd68f59f03633469f3ecf9bea99cd6cce3854 upstream. cmdline_find_option() may fail before doing any initialization of the 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 an error.
