If hugepages, hugepagesz, or default_hugepagesz are specified on the
kernel command line without the '=' separator, early parameter parsing
passes NULL to hugetlb_add_param(), which dereferences it in strlen()
and can crash the system during early boot.

Reject NULL values in hugetlb_add_param() and return -EINVAL instead.
