cmdline_find_option() returns the full length of the argument value even
if it is truncated. However, get_cmdline_acpi_rsdp() only checks whether
acpi_rsdp= is present and does not reject truncated values that do not
fit in the buffer.

Reject truncated values early to prevent boot_kstrtoul() from parsing a
partial value and thus from silently using the wrong RSDP address.

Fixes: 3c98e71b42a7 ("x86/boot: Add "acpi_rsdp=" early parsing")
