[RFC PATCH 3/7] kernel.h: implement fmtmatch() wrapper around fmtcheck()

[Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>]

Some users may prefer to check a "user-supplied" string upfront and
return EINVAL rather than using the the template as a fallback for
printf'ing later. fmtmatch() is simply a shorthand for

  fmtcheck(a, b, c | FMTCHECK_SILENT) == a.
