[PATCH v2 01/14] tools/rv: Fix substring match bug in monitor name search

STALE128d LANDED

From: Gabriele Monaco <gmonaco@redhat.com>

Subsystem: runtime verification (rv), the rest · Maintainers: Steven Rostedt, Gabriele Monaco, Linus Torvalds

__ikm_find_monitor_name() relies on strstr() to find a monitor by name,
which fails if the target monitor is a substring of a previously listed
monitor.

Fix it by tokenizing the available_monitors file and matching full
tokens instead.
