x86/boot: Fix early command-line parsing when matching at end

The x86 early command line parsing in cmdline_find_option_bool() is
buggy. If it matches a specified 'option' all the way to the end of the
command-line, it will consider it a match.

For instance,

  cmdline = "foo";
  cmdline_find_option_bool(cmdline, "fool");

will return 1. This is particularly annoying since we have actual FPU
options like "noxsave" and "noxsaves" So, command-line "foo bar noxsave"
will match *BOTH* a "noxsave" and "noxsaves". (This turns out not to be
an actual problem because "noxsave" implies "noxsaves", but it's still
confusing.)

To fix this, we simplify the code and stop tracking 'len'. 'len'
was trying to indicate either the NULL terminator *OR* the end of a
non-NULL-terminated command line at 'COMMAND_LINE_SIZE'. But, each of the
three states is *already* checking 'cmdline' for a NULL terminator.

We _only_ need to check if we have overrun 'COMMAND_LINE_SIZE', and that
we can do without keeping 'len' around.

Also add some commends to clarify what is going on.
