Subject: md: fix "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit b8313b6da7e2e7c7f47d93d8561969a3ff9ba0ea ("dm log: remove incorrect
field from userspace table output") added a call to strstr() with a
single-character "needle" string parameter.

Unfortunately some versions of gcc replace such calls to strstr() by calls
to strchr() behind our back.  This causes linking errors if strchr() is
defined as an inline function in <asm/string.h> (e.g.  on m68k):

| WARNING: "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!

Avoid this by explicitly calling strchr() instead.

This fixes a regression introduced in 2.6.31-rc9, and detected by m68k
allmodconfig, cfr. http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/config/164/
