As bootm_set_overrides() only sets non-NULL members, it's not suitable
to restore old settings as once a member is non-NULL, it can't change
it.

This may lead to use-after-frees, as the original strings are free'd,
but the override keeps pointing at it.
Fix this by merging overrides only before the boot and resetting all
members after.
