Subject: [PATCH RFC bootconfig] 1/2] fs/proc: Add /proc/cmdline_load for boot loader arguments

In kernels built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE=y, /proc/cmdline will
show all kernel boot parameters, both those supplied by the boot loader
and those embedded in the kernel image.  This works well for those who
just want to see all of the kernel boot parameters, but is not helpful to
those who need to see only those parameters supplied by the boot loader.
This is especially important when these parameters are presented to the
boot loader by automation that might gather them from diverse sources.

Therefore, provide a /proc/cmdline_load file that shows only those kernel
boot parameters supplied by the boot loader.

Why put this in /proc?  Because it is quite similar to /proc/cmdline, so
it makes sense to put it in the same place that /proc/cmdline is located.
