[PATCH] ARM: Drop CMDLINE_FORCE dependency on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM

On older platforms that boot an image with an appended DTB, or where
the boot loader has no support for updating chosen/bootargs, it is
common to rely on CMDLINE_FORCE.

While a fixed command line can make the kernel unbootable on other
platforms, it is not guaranteed to cause that.  E.g. all Renesas boards
use the same chosen/bootargs in upstream DTS, which works fine if your
DHCP server hands out proper nfsroot parameters.
