[PATCH 3/6] bitmap: bitmap_parselist(): reject trailing characters after group size

[shashank <jain.sm@gmail.com>]

bitmap_parse_region() checks that every region ends at a separator
(',', whitespace, '\n' or '\0'), except in the "range:used/group" form:
after parsing the group size it returns the pointer to the following
character without looking at it.  The caller then starts a new region
at that character.

Before 'N' and 'all' were accepted as region starts this happened to be
harmless, because any other character would fail to parse as a new
region.  Now text directly following the group size is silently parsed
as another region:

  "0-7:1/2N"    -> bits 0,2,4,6,7 (nbits = 8), returns 0
  "0-7:1/2all"  -> all bits set, returns 0

while "0-7N", "5N" or "0-7:1/2x" are correctly rejected with -EINVAL.
bitmap_parselist() is documented to return -EINVAL for an invalid
character.  It parses cpu lists from sysfs, cgroup cpuset files and
boot parameters such as isolcpus= and nohz_full=, so a typo there is
accepted and yields a different mask than intended.

Check for the end of the region after the group size as well, like the
other forms do.
