Chuhong Yuan 35c35493b0 printk: Replace strncmp() with str_has_prefix()
strncmp(str, const, len) is error-prone because len is easy to have typo.
An example is the hard-coded len has counting error or sizeof(const)
forgets - 1.

So we prefer using newly introduced str_has_prefix() to substitute
such strncmp() to make code better.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
