[PATCH v2] of: Change logic to overwrite cmd_line with CONFIG_CMDLINE

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>]

We used to overwrite with CONFIG_CMDLINE if we found a chosen
node but failed to get bootargs out of it or they were empty,
unless CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE is set.

Instead change that to overwrite if "data" is non empty after
the bootargs check. It allows arch code to have other mechanisms
to retrieve the command line prior to parsing the device-tree.

Note: CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE case should ideally be handled elsewhere
as it won't work as it-is if the device-tree has no /chosen node

v2. Use "data" instead of "cmd_line" so it works on archs like
mips who don't pass cmd_line to that function to start with, also
add a comment explaining the mechanism.
