block: fix and simplify blkdevparts= cmdline parsing
[ Upstream commit bc2e07dfd2c49aaa4b52302cf7b55cf94e025f79 ]
Fix the cmdline parsing of the "blkdevparts=" parameter using strsep(),
which makes the code simpler.
Before commit 146afeb235cc ("block: use strscpy() to instead of
strncpy()"), we used a strncpy() to copy a block device name and partition
names. The commit simply replaced a strncpy() and NULL termination with
a strscpy(). It did not update calculations of length passed to strscpy().
While the length passed to strncpy() is just a length of valid characters
without NULL termination ('\0'), strscpy() takes it as a length of the
destination buffer, including a NULL termination.
Since the source buffer is not necessarily NULL terminated, the current
code copies "length - 1" characters and puts a NULL character in the
destination buffer. It replaces the last character with NULL and breaks
the parsing.
As an example, that buffer will be passed to parse_parts() and breaks
parsing sub-partitions due to the missing ')' at the end, like the
following.
example (Check Point V-80 & OpenWrt):

1. "48M@10M(kernel-1),..." is passed to strscpy() with length=17
from parse_parts()
2. strscpy() returns -E2BIG and the destination buffer has
"48M@10M(kernel-1\0"
3. "48M@10M(kernel-1\0" is passed to parse_subpart()
4. parse_subpart() fails to find ')' when parsing a partition name,
and returns error

By the way, strscpy() takes a length of destination buffer and it is
often confusing when copying characters with a specified length. Using
strsep() helps to separate the string by the specified character. Then,
we can use strscpy() naturally with the size of the destination buffer.
Separating the string on the fly is also useful to omit the redundant
string copy, reducing memory usage and improve the code readability.
