[PATCH v2 3/5] lib/string: Add a generic wildcard string matchingfunction

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Add strglobmatch() for generic wildcard string matching.
This code is originally from perf-tools. For porting in
the kernel, the limitation of the number of wildcards is
introduced, because of the limitation of the stack.
