Subject: [PATCH] reboot: re-enable the function of variable reboot_default


commit b3a5d02ee070c(reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic kernel)
did some cleanup for reboot= command line, but it made the reboot_default
to be invalidated.

The default value of variable reboot_default should be 1, and if command line
reboot= is not set, system will use the default reboot mode.
