[PATCH] lib/string: Introduce sysfs_streqcase

[Gioh Kim <gi-oh.kim@ionos.com>]

As the name shows, it checks if strings are equal in case insensitive
manner. I found some cases using strncasecmp to check the entire
strings and they would not work as intended.

For example, drivers/infiniband/ulp/rtrs/rtrs-clt-sysfs.c uses
strncasecmp to check that the input via sysfs is "mi". But it would
work even-if the input is "min-wrongcommand".
And also drivers/pnp/interface.c checks "disable" command with
strncasecmp but it would also work if the command is "disable-wrong".
