From: Menglong Dong <dong.menglong@zte.com.cn>
'format_corename()' will splite 'core_pattern' on spaces when it
is in pipe mode, and take helper_argv[0] as the path to usermode
executable.
It works fine in most cases. However, if there is a space between
'|' and '/file/path', such as
'| /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g',
helper_argv[0] will be parsed as '', and users will get a
'Core dump to | disabled'.
It is not friendly to users, as the pattern above was valid previously.
Fix this by ignoring the spaces between '|' and '/file/path'.
Fixes: 315c69261dd3 ("coredump: split pipe command whitespace before expanding template")

Looks good to me. It's been a bit more than a year, but I'll add a
cc:stable to this so that the earlier kernels get the fix.
