4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: He Zhe <[email protected]>

commit a3ceed87b07769fb80ce9dc6b604e515dba14c4b upstream.

early_cma does not check input argument before passing it to
simple_strtoull. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "cma", without
its value, is set in command line and thus causes the following panic.

This patch adds a check to prevent the panic.
