From: Sebastian Capella <sebastian.capella@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/util.c: add kstrimdup()
kstrimdup() creates a whitespace-trimmed duplicate of the passed in
null-terminated string. This is useful for strings coming from sysfs that
often include trailing whitespace due to user input.
Thanks to Joe Perches for this implementation.
