From: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com>

commit e505371dd83963caae1a37ead9524e8d997341be upstream.

Add a cmdline_find_option() function to look for cmdline options that
take arguments. The argument is returned in a supplied buffer and the
argument length (regardless of whether it fits in the supplied buffer)
is returned, with -1 indicating not found.
