[PATCH 1/3] libata: glob_match for ata_device_blacklist

[Mark Lord <kernel@teksavvy.com>]

Replace rudimentry pattern matching with more capable shell-style globbing.
This will enable shrinking ata_device_blacklist[] table in subsequent patches,
and helps with future editions to the table, such as matching only the end
of a firmware revision string etc..

Eventually, this function should move out of libata into lib/string.c or similar (?).
But since following patches in this series require it for libata,
let's start with it there, and move things later on.

+ *
+ *	Either/both of text and pattern can be empty strings.
+ *
+ *	Match text against a glob-style pattern, with wildcards and simple sets:

+ *		*	matches any run of characters.
+ *		[xyz]	matches a single character from the set: x, y, or z.
+ *
+ *	Note: hyphenated ranges [0-9] are _not_ supported here.
+ *	The special characters ?, [, or *, can be matched using a set, eg. [*]
+ *
+ *	Example patterns:  "SD1?",  "SD1[012345]",  "*R0",  SD*1?[012]*xx"
+ *
+ *	This function uses one level of recursion per '*' in pattern.
+ *	Since it calls _nothing_ else, and has _no_ explicit local variables,
+ *	this will not cause stack problems for any reasonable use here.
