x86/apic: Fix parsing of the 'lapic' cmdline option

commit 27cf929845b10043f2257693c7d179a9e0b1980e upstream.

Including " lapic " in the kernel cmdline on an x86-64 kernel
makes it panic while parsing early params -- e.g. with no user
visible output.

Fix this bug by ensuring arg is non-NULL before passing it to
strncmp().
