string_helpers: Escape double quotes in escape_special
From an abstract point of view, escape_special's counterpart, unescape_special, already handles the unescaping of blackslashed double quote sequences. As a more practical example, printk indexing is an example case where this is already practically useful. Compare an example with `ESCAPE_SPECIAL | ESCAPE_SPACE`, with quotes not escaped: [root@ktst ~]# grep drivers/pci/pci-stub.c:69 /sys/kernel/debug/printk/index/vmlinux <4> drivers/pci/pci-stub.c:69 pci_stub_init "pci-stub: invalid ID string "%s"\n" ...and the same after this patch: [root@ktst ~]# grep drivers/pci/pci-stub.c:69 /sys/kernel/debug/printk/index/vmlinux <4> drivers/pci/pci-stub.c:69 pci_stub_init "pci-stub: invalid ID string \"%s\"\n" One can of course, alternatively, use ESCAPE_APPEND with a quote in @only, but without this patch quotes are coerced into hex or octal which can hurt readability quite significantly. I've checked uses of ESCAPE_SPECIAL and %pE across the codebase, and I'm pretty confident that this shouldn't affect any stable interfaces.
