Steven Rostedt (VMware) 1415e7a48b string.h: Add str_has_prefix() helper function
commit 72921427d46bf9731a1ab7864adc64c43dfae29f upstream.

A discussion came up in the trace triggers thread about converting a
bunch of:

 strncmp(str, "const", sizeof("const") - 1)

use cases into a helper macro. It started with:

	strncmp(str, const, sizeof(const) - 1)

But then Joe Perches mentioned that if a const is not used, the
sizeof() will be the size of a pointer, which can be bad. And that
gcc will optimize strlen("const") into "sizeof("const") - 1".

Thinking about this more, a quick grep in the kernel tree found several
(thousands!) of cases that use this construct. A quick grep also
revealed that there's probably several bugs in that use case. Some are
that people forgot the "- 1" (which I found) and others could be that
the constant for the sizeof is different than the constant (although, I
haven't found any of those, but I also didn't look hard).

I figured the best thing to do is to create a helper macro and place it
into include/linux/string.h. And go around and fix all the open coded
versions of it later.

Note, gcc appears to optimize this when we make it into an always_inline
static function, which removes a lot of issues that a macro produces.
