[PATCH 2/2 v2] x86/earlyprintk: setup earlyprintk as possible

[Alexander Kuleshov]

As setup_earlyprintk passed to the early_param, it will be usable only after
'parse_early_param' function will be called from the 'setup_arch'. So we have
earlyprintk during early boot and decompression. Next point after decompression
of the kernel where we can use early_printk is after call of the
'parse_early_param'.

This patch removes 'earlyprintk' from the early_param and setup it right after
boot data copying. So 'early_printk' function will be usabable after
decompression of kernel and before parse_early_param will be called.

Kernel with this patch was tested with qemu-i386. early_printk function works
after early_printk initialization. This patch also tested and works with enabled
CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL and CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE.

Changes v1->v2:

* Call of the setup_early_printk moved to the top of the i386_start_kernel
