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().

8bc3bcc93a lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include.  Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

e7d2860b69 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".

Julia Lawall tried the semantic patch (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) below,
and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files:
    drivers/leds/led-class.c
    drivers/leds/ledtrig-timer.c
    drivers/video/output.c

@@
expression str;
@@

( // ignore skip_spaces cases
while (*str &&  isspace(*str)) { \(str++;\|++str;\) }
|
- *str &&
isspace(*str)
)

5a56db1c0f LIB: Replace inappropriate include of <linux/bug.h>
Replace an irrelevant include of bug.h with the more appropriate
includes of slab.h and module.h.

it's not as if the original inclusion is an error, it's simply not
related to the contents of that source file, while the other two are.

compile-tested on i386.

8e2b705649 argv_split: allow argv_split to handle NULL pointer in argcp parameter gracefully
It would be nice if the argv_split library function could gracefully handle
a NULL pointer in the argcp parameter, so as to allow functions using it
that did not care about the value of argc to not have to declare a useless
variable.  This patch accomplishes that.  Tested by me, with successful
results.

d84d1cc764 add argv_split()
argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at
whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector.  This is
deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.

[ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in
  the kernel, but I couldn't find any other implementations, either to
  steal or replace.  Keep an eye out. ]
