The current IP address parsing logic fails when the input string contains a trailing newline character. This can occur when IP addresses are provided through configfs, which contains newlines in a const buffer. Teach netpoll_parse_ip_addr() how to ignore newlines at the end of the IPs. Also, simplify the code by: * No need to check for separators. Try to parse ipv4, if it fails try ipv6 similarly to ceph_pton() * If ipv6 is not supported, don't call in6_pton() at all.
