mm/mmap: return 1 from stack_guard_gap __setup() handler

commit e6d094936988910ce6e8197570f2753898830081 upstream.

__setup() handlers should return 1 if the command line option is handled
and 0 if not (or maybe never return 0; it just pollutes init's
environment).  This prevents:

  Unknown kernel command line parameters \
  "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5 stack_guard_gap=100", will be \
  passed to user space.

  Run /sbin/init as init process
   with arguments:
     /sbin/init
   with environment:
     HOME=/
     TERM=linux
     BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5
     stack_guard_gap=100

Return 1 to indicate that the boot option has been handled.

Note that there is no warning message if someone enters:
stack_guard_gap=anything_invalid
and 'val' and stack_guard_gap are both set to 0 due to the use of
simple_strtoul(). This could be improved by using kstrtoxxx() and
checking for an error.

It appears that having stack_guard_gap == 0 is valid (if unexpected) since
using "stack_guard_gap=0" on the kernel command line does that.
