[PATCH v2] kernel/crash_core: suppress unknown crashkernel parameter warning

[Philipp Rudo <prudo@redhat.com>]

When booting with crashkernel= on the kernel command line a warning
similar to

[    0.038294] Kernel command line: ro console=ttyS0 crashkernel=256M
[    0.038353] Unknown kernel command line parameters "crashkernel=256M", will be passed to user space.

is printed. This comes from crashkernel= being parsed independent from
the kernel parameter handling mechanism. So the code in init/main.c
doesn't know that crashkernel= is a valid kernel parameter and prints
this incorrect warning. Suppress the warning by adding a dummy
early_param handler for crashkernel=.

Fixes: 86d1919a4fb0 ("init: print out unknown kernel parameters")
