Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 12/12] string.h: Remove strstarts().

From: Francis Laniel <laniel_francis@...vacyrequired.com>

When str_has_prefix() was introduced in commit 495d714ad140 ("Merge tag
'trace-v4.21' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace"), this commit
stated that the new function should replace the existing one.
