cmdline_find_option() returns the full length of the parsed acpi_rsdp=
value. get_cmdline_acpi_rsdp() then silently truncates values which do
not fit in the val[] buffer.
Prevent boot_kstrtoul() from parsing a truncated value and then the
kernel from silently using the wrong RSDP address, see discussion in
Link:.
Issue a warning so that the user is aware that s/he supplied a malformed
value and can get feedback instead of silent crashes.
