Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc.c: fix early params garbage value accesses
From: Mateusz Nosek <mateusznosek0@...il.com>
Previously in '__init early_init_on_alloc' and '__init early_init_on_free'
the return values from 'kstrtobool' were not handled properly. That caused
potential garbage value read from variable 'bool_result'. Introduced patch
fixes error handling.
