Subject: [PATCH v3 08/12] x86, boot: Don't check if cmd_line_ptr is accessible in misc/decompressor()

At that stage, it is already in 32bit protected mode or 64bit mode.
so we do not need to check if ptr less 1M.

When go from other boot loader (kexec) instead of boot/ code path.

Move out accessible checking out __cmdline_find_option....

So misc.c will parse cmdline and have debug print out.
