/**
* 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.
