[ 85/95] dm ioctl: do not leak argv if target message only contains whitespace

[Greg KH]

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jesper Juhl <jj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 902c6a96a7cb9c50d2a8aed1788efad0a5d8f04c upstream.

If 'argc' is zero we jump to the 'out:' label, but this leaks the
(unused) memory that 'dm_split_args()' allocated for 'argv' if the
string being split consisted entirely of whitespace.  Jump to the
'out_argv:' label instead to free up that memory.
