[PATCH] kexec ppc64: fix misaligned cmdline

[Michael Neuling]

If the cmdline changes between boots, we can get misalignment of the
bootargs entry, which in turn corrupts our device tree blob and hence
kills our kexec boot.  

Specifically, if the cmdline length was >= 8 before and the new cmdline
length is < 8, we can get corruption.
