I have hit this problem before when doing "rm *" in a directory with
lots and lots of files. The way to get around this problem when
deleting a large number of files like that is to use the xargs command
with rm. Here are a few examples of this. Google xargs with rm and
you will see a few others:

This doesn't address what you are trying to do in the kernel, but is
one solution to your argument list too long issue.
