[PATCH 0/2] init: fix array boundary bugs in boot parameter parsing

[Wilson Felipe Pereira]

This series fixes two distinct boundary logic edge-case bugs in
`init/main.c` related to parsing boot command-line arguments and
environment variables. Both bugs have been present since the early
git history (Linux-2.6.12-rc2).

1. The first patch fixes an off-by-one error in `init_setup()` where
   the final slot of the `argv_init` array was left uncleared. This
   allowed a stale kernel parameter to leak into the `init` process's
   user-space command line if exactly `MAX_INIT_ARGS` unknown
   parameters were passed.

2. The second patch fixes a false-positive kernel panic in
   `unknown_bootoption()`. If a user filled the environment variable
   array up to its exact limit (32) and then attempted to overwrite
   the final variable, the kernel would panic before evaluating
   whether it was a harmless duplicate.

Exact QEMU reproduction steps for both edge cases are documented
inside their respective commit descriptions.
