[PATCH 6.8 115/172] fs/proc: Skip bootloader comment if no embedded kernel parameters

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

commit c722cea208789d9e2660992bcd05fb9fac3adb56 upstream.

If the "bootconfig" kernel command-line argument was specified or if
the kernel was built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE, but if there are
no embedded kernel parameter, omit the "# Parameters from bootloader:"
comment from the /proc/bootconfig file. This will cause automation
to fall back to the /proc/cmdline file, which will be identical to the
comment in this no-embedded-kernel-parameters case.
