Subject: [PATCH 2/8] x86/kaslr: Remove bogus warning and unnecessary goto

Drop the warning on seeing "--" in handle_mem_options. This will trigger
whenever one of the memory options is present in the command line
together with "--", but there's no problem if that is the case.

Replace goto with break.
