Subject: [PATCH 3.8 147/152] iscsi-target: chap auth shouldn't match username with trailing garbage

3.8.13.14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Seppanen <eric@...estorage.com>

commit 86784c6bdeeef78eed94d298be7a8879f6a97ee2 upstream.

In iSCSI negotiations with initiator CHAP enabled, usernames with
trailing garbage are permitted, because the string comparison only
checks the strlen of the configured username.

e.g. "usernameXXXXX" will be permitted to match "username".

Just check one more byte so the trailing null char is also matched.
