[PATCH v4 0/8] Replace strncmp with str_has_prefix

[Chuhong Yuan]

The commit 72921427d46b
("string.h: Add str_has_prefix() helper function")
introduced str_has_prefix() to substitute error-prone
strncmp(str, const, len).

strncmp(str, const, len) is easy to have error in len
because of counting error or sizeof(const) without - 1.

These patches replace such pattern with str_has_prefix()
to avoid hard coded constant length and sizeof.

Besides, str_has_prefix() returns the length of prefix
when the comparison returns true.
We can use this return value to substitute some hard-coding.

Changelog:

v1 -> v2:
  - Revise the description.
  - Use the return value of str_has_prefix() to eliminate
    hard coding.
  - Remove possible false positives and add newly detected
    one in upstream.

v2 -> v3:
  - Revise the description.
  - Remove else uses in printk.c.

v3 -> v4:
  - Eliminate assignments in if conditions.
