[PATCH] lib/tests: extend cmdline KUnit with next_arg() tests

From: Shuvam Pandey

Date: Mon Mar 16 2026 - 06:15:10 EST


The cmdline KUnit suite covers get_option() and get_options(), but it
does not exercise next_arg().

Extend the suite with one test for a quoted value containing spaces and
one regression test for a bare quote token after a normal parameter.

The regression test covers the bare quote token path fixed by commit
9847f21225c4 ("lib/cmdline: avoid page fault in next_arg").
