[ 12/57] kernel/reboot.c: re-enable the function of variable reboot_default

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chuansheng Liu <chuansheng.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

commit e2f0b88e84eed9cf9797f0a88c8012ee0b885a6d upstream.

Commit 1b3a5d02ee07 ("reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic
kernel") did some cleanup for reboot= command line, but it made the
reboot_default inoperative.

The default value of variable reboot_default should be 1, and if command
line reboot= is not set, system will use the default reboot mode.
