sched: Fix string comparison in /proc/sched_features
commit 7740191cd909b75d75685fb08a5d1f54b8a9d28b upstream. Fix incorrect handling of the following case: INTERACTIVE INTERACTIVE_SOMETHING_ELSE The comparison only checks up to each element's length. Changelog since v1: - Embellish using some Rostedtisms.
