Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Drop CMDLINE_FORCE dependency on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM

On older platforms that boot an image with an appended DTB, or where
the boot loader has no support for updating chosen/bootargs, it is
common to rely on CMDLINE_FORCE.

While a fixed command line can make the kernel unbootable on other
platforms, it is not guaranteed to cause that. E.g. all Renesas boards
use the same chosen/bootargs in upstream DTS, which works fine if your
DHCP server hands out proper nfsroot parameters.

Fixes: 84fc863606239d8b ("ARM: make ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM user-visible")

Always use the default kernel command string, even if the boot
loader passes other arguments to the kernel.
