This patch reduces lib/lib.a code size by 482 bytes on my Core 2 with gcc 4.4.1
even considering that it exports a newly defined function skip_spaces()
to drivers:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64867     840     592   66299   102fb (TOTALS-lib.a-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-lib.a-AFTER)
and implements some code tidy up.

Besides reducing lib.a size, it converts many in-tree drivers to use the
newly defined function, which makes another small reduction on kernel size
overall when those drivers are used.

Changelog:
   v5: addressed comments and feedback from many people: Jan Engelhardt,
James Bottomley, Rusty Russell, Alan Cox, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh,
Theodore Tso and Julia Lawall (thanks!)
   v4: converted drivers over newly defined skip_spaces() function
   v3: improved comments on patch 5/7 and factorize a switch statement on 6/7
as per suggestions from Ingo and Frederic (thanks!)
   v2: addressed feedback from Frederic Weisbecker review (thanks!)
and split into separate patches
   v1: original submission

André Goddard Rosa (12):
  vsprintf: factorize "(null)" string
  vsprintf: pre-calculate final string length for later use
  vsprintf: give it some care to please checkpatch.pl
  vsprintf: use TOLOWER whenever possible
  vsprintf: reduce code size by avoiding extra check
  vsprintf: move local vars to block local vars and remove unneeded
    ones
  vsprintf: factor out skip_space code in a separate function
  vsprintf: reuse almost identical simple_strtoulX() functions
  ctype: constify read-only _ctype string
  string: factorize skip_spaces and export it to be generally available
  string: on strstrip(), first remove leading spaces before running
    over str
  tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib
    function
