6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit f418d68d71fd4a0a9cef92377bc8c4c3334b5b53 upstream.

eprobe_dyn_event_match() checks if the target event system in argv[0]
matches ep->event_system using strncmp(ep->event_system, argv[0], len).
However, if ep->event_system is longer than len (e.g. "eprobes" vs
"ep/event"), strncmp() still returns 0 because the first len characters
match.

Check that ep->event_system[len] is '\0' to ensure exact system name
matching.
