Thanks!

I shuffled the code a bit and missed this point. Actually, this routine
cmdline_parse_hugetlb_cma has the same issue you addressed in [1]. I did not
see that until now. It is fixed with this change.

I will send a v2 with:
- Remove check for unsigned tmp < 0
- Add a note in commit log that this also addresses an overflow truncation
issue in the assignement of an unsigned long to int.
