/proc/<pid>/cmdline: remove all the special cases
commit 3d712546 upstream. Start off with a clean slate that only reads exactly from arg_start to arg_end, without any oddities. This simplifies the code and in the process removes the case that caused us to potentially leak an uninitialized byte from the temporary kernel buffer. Note that in order to start from scratch with an understandable base, this simplifies things _too_ much, and removes all the legacy logic to handle setproctitle() having changed the argument strings. We'll add back those special cases very differently in the next commit.
