lib/cmdline: avoid page fault in next_arg

An argument list like "arg=val arg2 \"" can trigger a page fault if the
page pointed by 'args[0xffffffff]' is not mapped and potential memory
corruption otherwise (unlikely but possible if the bogus address is mapped
and contents happen to match the ascii value of the quote character).

The fix is to ensure that we load 'args[i-1]' only when (i > 0).

Prior to this commit the following command would trigger an
unhandled page fault in the kernel:

root@(none):/linus/fs/fat# insmod ./fat.ko  "foo=bar \""
