[PATCH] TOMOYO: fix __setup handlers return values

__setup() handlers should return 1 if the parameter is handled.
Returning 0 causes the entire string to be added to init's
environment strings (limited to 32 strings), unnecessarily polluting it.

Using the documented strings "TOMOYO_loader=string1" and
"TOMOYO_trigger=string2" causes an Unknown parameter message:
  Unknown kernel command line parameters
    "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5 TOMOYO_loader=string1 \
     TOMOYO_trigger=string2", will be passed to user space.

and these strings are added to init's environment string space:
  Run /sbin/init as init process
    with arguments:
     /sbin/init
    with environment:
     HOME=/
     TERM=linux
     BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5
     TOMOYO_loader=string1
     TOMOYO_trigger=string2

With this change, these __setup handlers act as expected,
and init's environment is not polluted with these strings.
