From: 谢致邦 (XIE Zhibang) <Yeking@Red54.com>

After commit e6384c398459 ("efi/libstub: Parse builtin command line
after bootloader provided one"), the behavior of EFI has been consistent
with FDT.

So add back and fix support for CMDLINE_EXTEND.

Fixes: cae118b6acc3 ("arm64: Drop support for CMDLINE_EXTEND")

This breaks the ability for the user (via the boot loader) to override
built-in arguments.

FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!

How does a non-default configuration break the ability you're talking about? If
you insist, why not remove the non-default CMDLINE_FORCE as well?
