Subject: [PATCH 4.14 069/159] perf help: Fix a bug during strstart() conversion

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

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

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>


[ Upstream commit af98f2273fd0af31ce327cd1406b67c7be0b6734 ]

The commit 8e99b6d4533c changed prefixcmp() to strstart() but missed to
change the return value in some place.  It makes perf help print
annoying output even for sane config items like below:

  $ perf help
  '.root': unsupported man viewer sub key.
  ...
