x86/mm: Fix use of uninitialized buffer in sme_enable()

cmdline_find_option() may fail before doing any initialization of
the buffer array. This may lead to unpredictable results when the same
buffer is used later in calls to strncmp() function.  Fix the issue by
returning early if cmdline_find_option() returns an error.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with static
analysis tool SVACE.
