SCSI: prevent stack buffer overflow in host_reset
commit 072f19b4bea31cdd482d79f805413f2f9ac9e233 upstream.
store_host_reset() has tried to re-invent the wheel to compare sysfs strings.
Unfortunately it did so poorly and never bothered to check the input from
userspace before overwriting stack with it, so something simple as:
echo "WoopsieWoopsie" >
/sys/devices/pseudo_0/adapter0/host0/scsi_host/host0/host_reset
would result in:
[ 316.310101] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffff81f5bac7

Fix this by uninventing whatever was going on there and just use sysfs_streq.
Bug introduced by 29443691 ("[SCSI] scsi: Added support for adapter and
firmware reset").
