Subject: calibrate: Fix kernel command line parsing
References: bsc#1180513
Upstream: merged
Git-commit: 1fe1bba64e208032b7c20b885cbbc5b54a13314a

A kernel parameter value can be quoted (param="val"). This quoting
is not removed properly. It is necessary to follow the logic of
kernel's next_arg() in lib/cmdline.c more closely.

Note that if the value as well as the whole argument are quoted,
the Linux kernel removes only one trailing quote. For instance:

"root="/dev/sda1""

is parsed as /dev/sda1" (with the trailing quote). I consider this
a bug in the kernel option parser and I'm not redoing it here.
