Subject: [PATCH 5.7 122/124] efi/libstub: Handle NULL cmdline

From: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@...m.mit.edu>

commit a37ca6a2af9df2972372b918f09390c9303acfbd upstream.

Treat a NULL cmdline the same as empty. Although this is unlikely to
happen in practice, the x86 kernel entry does check for NULL cmdline and
handles it, so do it here as well.
