[ Upstream commit f2544f5e6c691679d56bb38637d2f347075b36fa ]

__setup() handlers should return 1 if the parameter is handled.
Returning 0 causes the entire string to be added to init's
environment strings (limited to 32 strings), unnecessarily polluting it.

Using the documented string "evm=fix" causes an Unknown parameter message:
  Unknown kernel command line parameters
  "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5 evm=fix", will be passed to user space.

and that string is added to init's environment string space:
  Run /sbin/init as init process
    with arguments:
     /sbin/init
    with environment:
     HOME=/
     TERM=linux
     BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5
     evm=fix

With this change, using "evm=fix" acts as expected and an invalid
option ("evm=evm") causes a warning to be printed:
  evm: invalid "evm" mode
but init's environment is not polluted with this string, as expected.
