argv_split() allocates argv[count_argc(str)] array and assumes that it will find the same number of arguments later. This is obviously wrong if this string can be changed, say, by sysctl. With this patch argv_split() kstrndup's the whole string and does not split it, we simply replace the spaces with zeroes and keep the allocated memory in argv[-1] for argv_free(arg). We do not use argv[0] because: - str can be all-spaces or empty. In fact this case is fine, we could kfree() it before return, but: - str can have a space at the start, and we can not rely on kstrndup(skip_spaces(str)) because it can equally race if this string is mutable. Also, simplify count_argc() and kill the no longer used skip_arg().
