Subject: [PATCH 4.4 18/22] genksyms: Handle string literals with spaces in reference files

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Marek <mmarek@...e.com>

commit a78f70e8d65e88b9f631d073f68cb26dcd746298 upstream.

The reference files use spaces to separate tokens, however, we must
preserve spaces inside string literals. Currently the only case in the
tree is struct edac_raw_error_desc in <linux/edac.h>:

$ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes
$ mv drivers/edac/amd64_edac.{symtypes,symref}
$ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes
drivers/edac/amd64_edac.c:527: warning: amd64_get_dram_hole_info: modversion changed because of changes in struct edac_raw_error_desc
