arm64: fix rodata=full again
PATCH 1/1 arm64: fix rodata=full again
Commit 2e8cff0a0eee87b2 ("arm64: fix rodata=full") addressed a couple of issues with the rodata= kernel command line option, which is not a simple boolean on arm64, and inadvertently got broken due to changes in the generic bool handling.
Unfortunately, the resulting code never clears the rodata_full boolean variable if it defaults to true and rodata=on or rodata=off is passed, as the generic code is not aware of the existence of this variable.
Given the way this code is plumbed together, clearing rodata_full when returning false from arch_parse_debug_rodata() may result in inconsistencies if the generic code decides that it cannot parse the right hand side, so the best way to deal with this is to only take rodata_full in account if rodata_enabled is also true.

Hmm, I dislike how error-prone this is, but thanks for the fix:

Applied to arm64 (for-next/fixes), thanks!
