x86/boot: Move kernel cmdline setup earlier in the boot process (again)

When split_lock_detect=off (or similar) is specified in
CONFIG_CMDLINE, its effect is lost. The flow is currently this:

setup_arch():
-> early_cpu_init()
-> early_identify_cpu()
-> sld_setup()
-> sld_state_setup()
-> Looks for split_lock_detect in boot_command_line

-> e820__memory_setup()

-> Assemble final command line:
boot_command_line = builtin_cmdline + boot_cmdline

-> parse_early_param()

There were earlier attempts at fixing this in:

8d48bf8206f7 ("x86/boot: Pull up cmdline preparation and early param parsing")

later reverted in:

fbe618399854 ("Revert "x86/boot: Pull up cmdline preparation and early param parsing"")

.. because parse_early_param() can't be called before
e820__memory_setup().

In this patch, we just move the command line concatenation to the
beginning of early_cpu_init(). This should fix sld_state_setup(), while
not running in the same issues as the earlier attempt.

The order is now:

setup_arch():
-> Assemble final command line:
boot_command_line = builtin_cmdline + boot_cmdline

-> early_cpu_init()
-> early_identify_cpu()
-> sld_setup()
-> sld_state_setup()
-> Looks for split_lock_detect in boot_command_line

-> e820__memory_setup()

-> parse_early_param()
