Commit a99cd1125189 ("init: fix bug where environment vars can't be passed via boot args") introduced two minor bugs in unknown_bootoption by factoring out the quoted value handling into a separate function.
When value is quoted, repair_env_string will move the value up 1 byte to strip the quotes, so val in unknown_bootoption no longer points to the actual location of the value.
The result is that an argument of the form param=".value" is mistakenly treated as a potential module parameter and is not placed in init's environment, and an argument of the form param="value" can result in a duplicate environment variable: eg TERM="vt100" on the command line will result in both TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 being placed into init's environment.
Fix this by recording the length of the param before calling repair_env_string instead of relying on val.
