[PATCH v3 2/2] btrfs: harden parsing of compress mount options
From: Daniel Vacek
Date: Mon Jun 02 2025 - 11:54:08 EST
Btrfs happily but incorrectly accepts the `-o compress=zlib+foo` and similar
options with any random suffix.
Fix that by explicitly checking the end of the strings.

v3 changes: Split into two patches to ease backporting,
no functional changes.
