reboot: Re-enable the function of variable reboot_default

Commit 1b3a5d02ee070c (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.
