Oleg Nesterov 095d141b2e argv_split(): teach it to handle mutable strings
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().
