Subject: [PATCH] scsi: prevent stack buffer overflow in host_reset

store_host_reset() has tried to re-invent the wheel to compare sysfs strings.
Unfortunately it did so poorly and never bothered to check the input from
userspace before overwriting stack with it, so something simple as:

echo "WoopsieWoopsie" >
/sys/devices/pseudo_0/adapter0/host0/scsi_host/host0/host_reset

would result in:

Fix this by uninventing whatever was going on there and just use sysfs_streq.

Bug introduced by 29443691 ("[SCSI] scsi: Added support for adapter and
firmware reset").

That revision is in 3.2 and all following, so I think this needs to go into
stable, too.

You didn't compile test this:

CC [M] drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.o
drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c: In function ‘store_host_reset’:
drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c:269:2: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘check_reset_type’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]
drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c:250:12: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘const char *’

It needs a const in check_reset_type().

I've added it.
