[PATCH 5.16 0711/1017] driver core: dd: fix return value of __setup handler

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit f2aad54703dbe630f9d8b235eb58e8c8cc78f37d ]

When "driver_async_probe=nulltty" is used on the kernel boot command line,
it causes an Unknown parameter message and the string is added to init's
environment strings, polluting them.

Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6
driver_async_probe=nulltty", will be passed to user space.

Run /sbin/init as init process
with arguments:
/sbin/init
with environment:
HOME=/
TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6
driver_async_probe=nulltty

Change the return value of the __setup function to 1 to indicate
that the __setup option has been handled.
