feat(suspend): hardened-only init_on_free=0 + hang-detection cmdline
Split the hardened UKI cmdline off the shared etc/kernel/cmdline.tmpl
so we can carry workarounds without poking the stock linux build.
Daily-driving linux-hardened on this hardware has reliably hung on
resume from S3: black screen, blinking caps-lock + power LED, only
the power button helps. The kernel journal stops at 'PM: suspend
entry (deep)' with nothing after, so the freeze is below the level
where logs can flush — characteristic of a hard hang inside a device
driver's suspend/resume callback rather than a userspace bug.
linux-hardened defaults init_on_free=1, which zeroes pages on free.
On Intel + iwlwifi/i915/nvme stacks this routinely surfaces latent
UAFs as suspend hangs that are invisible on stock linux. Drop that
knob to 0 for the hardened cmdline as the working hypothesis.
Add nmi_watchdog=panic, softlockup_panic=1, panic=10 so if the next
attempt still wedges, a stuck CPU self-panics and auto-reboots
within ~10s, giving us a 'journalctl -b -1 -k' trace to look at
instead of having to force-power-off blindly.
Stock linux is untouched.
