Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpftool: Use strcmp() instead of is_prefix() to check parameters

In the current code, the parameters check of bpftool seems not correct,
for example, "bpftool batch file FILE" is the expected command format,
but "bpftool b f FILE" is recognized as valid, so use strcmp() instead
of is_prefix() to check parameters.

That's by design and is similar to what iproute2 commands are doing.

Agreed with Stanislav, all bpftool commands support argument prefixing
and it's helpful, I see no reason to remove it for the batch command.
But thanks anyway for reporting
