When __setup() return '0', using invalid option values causes the
entire kernel boot option string to be reported as Unknown. Hugetlb
calls __setup() and will return '0' when set invalid parameter
string.

The following phenomenon is observed:
cmdline:
hugepagesz=1Y hugepages=1
dmesg:
HugeTLB: unsupported hugepagesz=1Y
HugeTLB: hugepages=1 does not follow a valid hugepagesz, ignoring
Unknown kernel command line parameters "hugepagesz=1Y hugepages=1"

Since hugetlb will print warning/error information before return for
invalid parameter string, just use return '1' to avoid print again.
