Subject: [PATCH] kernel/dma: Fix panic caused by passing cma to command line

From: He Zhe <zhe.he@...driver.com>

early_cma does not check input argument before passing it to
simple_strtoull. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "cma", without
its value, is set in command line and thus causes the following panic.

PANIC: early exception 0xe3 IP 10:ffffffffa3e9db8d error 0 cr2 0x0

This patch adds a check to prevent the panic.
