Subject: [PATCH] scsi: fcoe: use sysfs_match_string over fcoe_parse_mode

Instead of copying @buf into a new buffer and carefully managing its
newline/null-terminating status, we can just use sysfs_match_string()
as it uses sysfs_streq() internally which handles newline/null-term:

|  /**
|   * sysfs_streq - return true if strings are equal, modulo trailing newline
|   * @s1: one string
|   * @s2: another string
|   *
|   * This routine returns true iff two strings are equal, treating both
|   * NUL and newline-then-NUL as equivalent string terminations.  It's
|   * geared for use with sysfs input strings, which generally terminate
|   * with newlines but are compared against values without newlines.
|   */
|  bool sysfs_streq(const char *s1, const char *s2)
|  ...

Then entirely drop the now unused fcoe_parse_mode, being careful to
change if condition from checking for FIP_CONN_TYPE_UNKNOWN to < 0 as
sysfs_match_string can return -EINVAL.

To get the compiler not to complain, make fip_conn_type_names
const char * const. Perhaps, this should also be done for
fcf_state_names.

This also removes an instance of strncpy() which helps [1].

Builds upon patch and feedback from [2]:

However, this is different enough to warrant its own patch and not be a
continuation.
