[PATCH] mm/page_alloc.c: fix early params garbage value accesses

From: mateusznosek0
Date: Wed Sep 16 2020 - 18:17:59 EST


From: Mateusz Nosek <mateusznosek0@xxxxxxxxx>

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.
