proc: proc_skip_spaces() shouldn't think it is working on C strings 



commit bce9332220bd677d83b19d21502776ad555a0e73 upstream.

proc_skip_spaces() seems to think it is working on C strings, and ends
up being just a wrapper around skip_spaces() with a really odd calling
convention.

Instead of basing it on skip_spaces(), it should have looked more like
proc_skip_char(), which really is the exact same function (except it
skips a particular character, rather than whitespace).  So use that as
inspiration, odd coding and all.

Now the calling convention actually makes sense and works for the
intended purpose.
