extra_init_args ends with a space, so when concatenating extra_init_args
to saved_command_line, be sure to remove the extra space.

Hi Yuntao,
Hmm, if you want to trim the end space, you should trim extra_init_args
itself instead of this adjustment. Also, can you share the example?

At first, I also intended to fix this issue as you suggested. However,
because both extra_command_line and extra_init_args end with a space,
making such a change would require modifications in many places.
That's why I chose this approach instead.
Here are some examples before and after modification:
Before: [ 0.829179] Kernel command line: 'console=ttyS0 debug -- bootconfig_arg1 '
After: [ 0.032648] Kernel command line: 'console=ttyS0 debug -- bootconfig_arg1'
Before: [ 0.757217] Kernel command line: 'console=ttyS0 debug -- bootconfig_arg1 arg1'
After: [ 0.068184] Kernel command line: 'console=ttyS0 debug -- bootconfig_arg1 arg1'
In order to make it easier to observe spaces, I added quotes when outputting saved_command_line.
Note that the first 'before' ends with a space, and there are two spaces between
'bootconfig_arg1' and 'arg1' in the second 'before'.

You may just need:
if (extra_init_args)
strim(extra_init_args);

BTW, is this tailing space harm anything? I don't like a cosmetic change.

I think this modification is necessary.
If saved_command_line is only used internally in the kernel, having extra
spaces, while not perfect, is acceptable to me. However, since saved_command_line
can be accessed by users through the /proc/cmdline file, having these extra
spaces here and there makes it look too casual.

There is a space at the end of extra_init_args. In the current logic,
copying extra_init_args to saved_command_line will cause extra spaces
in saved_command_line here or there. Remove the trailing space from
extra_init_args to make the string in saved_command_line look more perfect.
