[PATCH] aoe: flush: fix device name string comparison

From: Valentin Kleibel
Date: Tue Jun 24 2025 - 09:01:16 EST


Only flush a device if device_name exactly matches.
Previously all devices starting with the requested string were flushed.

e.g. 'echo e10.1 > /dev/etherd/flush' erroneously flushed devices
e10.10, e10.11,... in addition to e10.1 if they existed.
