Subject: [PATCH] lib/cmdline: avoid page fault in next_arg

An argument list like "arg=val arg2 \"" can trigger a page fault
if the page pointed by 'args[0xffffffff]' is not mapped and potential
memory corruption otherwise (unlikely but possible if the bogus
address is mapped and contents happen to match the ascii value
of the quote character).

The fix is to ensure that we load 'args[i-1]' only when (i > 0).

Prior to this commit the following command would trigger an
unhandled page fault in the kernel:

root@(none):/linus/fs/fat# insmod ./fat.ko  "foo=bar \""
