[PATCH] Fixup quote parsing of kernel arguments

[Arthur Gautier]

When starting kernel with arguments like:
  init=/bin/sh -c "echo arguments"
the trailing double quote is not removed which results in following command
being executed:
  /bin/sh -c 'echo arguments"'

This commit removes the trailing double quote.
