Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Use strcmp() in __assign_str() WARN_ON() check

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The WARN_ON() check in __assign_str() to catch where the source variable
to the macro doesn't match the source variable to __string() gives an
error in clang:

>> include/trace/events/sunrpc.h:703:4: warning: result of comparison against a string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string comparison function instead) [-Wstring-compare]
     670 |                         __assign_str(progname, "unknown");

That's because the __assign_str() macro has:

   WARN_ON_ONCE((src) != __data_offsets.dst##_ptr_);

Where "src" is a string literal. Clang warns when comparing a string
literal directly as it is undefined to what the value of the literal is.

Since this is still to make sure the same string that goes to __string()
is the same as __assign_str(), for string literals do a test for that and
then use strcmp() in those cases

Note that this depends on commit 51270d573a8d ("tracing/net_sched: Fix
tracepoints that save qdisc_dev() as a string") being applied, as this was
what found that bug.
