Subject: [PATCH v2 fs/proc/bootconfig 2/2] fs/proc: Skip bootloader comment if no embedded kernel parameters

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

If the "bootconfig" kernel command-line argument was specified or if
the kernel was built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE, but if there are
no embedded kernel parameter, omit the "# Parameters from bootloader:"
comment from the /proc/bootconfig file.  This will cause automation
to fall back to the /proc/cmdline file, which will be identical to the
comment in this no-embedded-kernel-parameters case.
