lib: add lib/glob.c
This is a helper function from drivers/ata/libata_core.c, where it is used to blacklist particular device models. It's being moved to lib/ so other drivers may use it for the same purpose. This implementation in non-recursive, so is safe for the kernel stack.

+/**
+ * glob_match - Shell-style pattern matching, like !fnmatch(pat, str, 0)
+ * @pat: Shell-style pattern to match, e.g. "*.[ch]".
+ * @str: String to match. The pattern must match the entire string.
+ *
+ * Perform shell-style glob matching, returning true (1) if the match
+ * succeeds, or false (0) if it fails. Equivalent to !fnmatch(@pat, @str, 0).
+ *
+ * Pattern metacharacters are ?, *, [ and \.
+ * (And, inside character classes, !, - and ].)
+ *
+ * This is small and simple implementation intended for device blacklists
+ * where a string is matched against a number of patterns. Thus, it
+ * does not preprocess the patterns. It is non-recursive, and run-time
+ * is at most quadratic: strlen(@str)*strlen(@pat).
+ *
+ * An example of the worst case is glob_match("*aaaaa", "aaaaaaaaaa");
+ * it takes 6 passes over the pattern before matching the string.
+ *
+ * Like !fnmatch(@pat, @str, 0) and unlike the shell, this does NOT
+ * treat / or leading . specially; it isn't actually used for pathnames.
+ *
+ * Note that according to glob(7) (and unlike bash), character classes
+ * are complemented by a leading !; this does not support the regex-style
+ * [^a-z] syntax.
+ *
+ * An opening bracket without a matching close is matched literally.
