mm: debug_page_alloc: fix NULL buf in debug_guardpage_minorder_setup

If the kernel command line includes "debug_guardpage_minorder" without an
equals sign (i.e., no value is provided), the early parameter parser
passes a NULL buf pointer to the setup function.

kstrtouint() does not perform a NULL check on its input and calls directly
into kstrtoull() which dereferences s[0] unconditionally, leading to a
NULL pointer dereference and early boot crash.

Additionally, the error path's pr_err("%s", buf) would also crash with a
NULL format argument.
