hugetlbfs: handle empty options string

I was seeing a null pointer deref in fs/super.c:vfs_kern_mount().
Some file system get_sb() handler was returning NULL mnt_sb with
a non-negative return value.  I also noticed a "hugetlbfs: Bad
mount option:" message in the log.

Turns out that hugetlbfs_parse_options() was not checking for an
empty option string after call to strsep().  On failure,
hugetlbfs_parse_options() returns 1.  hugetlbfs_fill_super() just
passed this return code back up the call stack where
vfs_kern_mount() missed the error and proceeded with a NULL mnt_sb.

Apparently introduced by patch:
	hugetlbfs-use-lib-parser-fix-docs.patch

The problem was exposed by this line in my fstab:

none        /huge       hugetlbfs   defaults    0 0

It can also be demonstrated by invoking mount of hugetlbfs
directly with no options or a bogus option.

This patch:

1) adds the check for empty option to hugetlbfs_parse_options(),
2) enhances the error message to bracket any unrecognized
   option with quotes ,
3) modifies hugetlbfs_parse_options() to return -EINVAL on any
   unrecognized option,
4) adds a BUG_ON() to vfs_kern_mount() to catch any get_sb()
   handler that returns a NULL mnt->mnt_sb with a return value
   >= 0.
