Subject: [PATCH] bootconfig: Fix to prevent warning message if no bootconfig option

Commit de462e5f1071 ("bootconfig: Fix to remove bootconfig
data from initrd while boot") causes a cosmetic regression
on dmesg, which warns "no bootconfig data" message without
bootconfig cmdline option.

Fix setup_boot_config() by moving no bootconfig check after
commandline option check.
