tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading spaces from strings all over the tree. It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide: text data bss dec hex filename 64688 584 592 65864 10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE) 64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-AFTER) Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words, "a char equals zero is never a space".

* argv_split - split a string at whitespace, returning an argv
* @gfp: the GFP mask used to allocate memory

* @argcp: returned argument count
*
* Returns an array of pointers to strings which are split out from
* @str. This is performed by strictly splitting on white-space; no
* quote processing is performed. Multiple whitespace characters are
* considered to be a single argument separator. The returned array
* is always NULL-terminated. Returns NULL on memory allocation
* failure.
*
* The source string at `str' may be undergoing concurrent alteration via
* userspace sysctl activity (at least). The argv_split() implementation
* attempts to handle this gracefully by taking a local copy to work on.
