[CHECKER] Security reports involving isspace()

[ken@coverity.com]

Here are some more static analysis reports from Coverity.  These are
places where the kernel gets a scalar from the user and then uses it as an
array index with out bounds checking it.

All of the reports below deal with the isspace macro.  It expands to an
access to a static array with 256 entries.  If we use an unsigned char to
index into the array, there are no problems.  However, when that char is
signed, we can index off the left of the array.

It seems like this isn't a big deal, but if the isspace array is located
after some important data structure, we could leak information.

thanks for your feedback,
Ken Ashcraft
