microblaze: Fix bug with passing command line
When u-boot passes control over to Linux it places the Linux command line between to the end of __init_end. When space between __init_end and __bss_start is not COMMAND_LINE_SIZE then the part of cmdline can be lost. In extreme case if __init_end == __bss_start u-boot can't pass any cmdline to Linux kernel. This patch fix this issue by copying cmd line directly to cmd_line char array which is placed in data section.
