Here's an alternative patch which does the same thing:

Subject: [PATCH] Shell escape arguments for find cmd used by xref

* lisp/progmodes/xref.el (xref--rgrep-command): When the dir has
  characters like spaces (e.g. /tmp/some dir/), those need to be escaped
  before passing it as an argument to the shell command like `find'.
  The escaping is done using `shell-quote-argument' (bug#23453).
