Bug fixes, extensions, and test coverage for lib/glob.c:

Patches 1-3 fix corner cases in the existing glob_match():
  - Inverted character class ranges like [z-a] are now normalized
    instead of silently failing to match.
  - A trailing backslash is treated as a literal '\' rather than
    reading past the end of the pattern string.
  - [^...] is accepted as an alias for [!...] to match the
    regex-style negation syntax documented in glob(7).

Patches 4-5 add two new utility functions:
  - glob_match_nocase() for case-insensitive matching, useful for
    subsystems like ATA that need case-folded denylist comparisons.
  - glob_validate() for checking pattern syntax before use, so
    callers can reject malformed patterns early with a clear error.

Patches 6-7 add kunit test coverage:
  - 47 new test cases for glob_match covering escapes, inverted
    ranges, caret negation, edge cases, and unclosed brackets.
  - 11 test cases for glob_match_nocase.
  - 17 test cases for glob_validate.

Patch 8 adds a real in-tree caller for glob_validate() in the kunit
executor, validating user-provided filter_glob patterns and returning
-EINVAL for malformed ones.

Changes since v1:
  - Added patch 8 (kunit executor caller for glob_validate) so that
    both new exported functions have in-tree users or documented
    intended users.
  - Updated glob_match_nocase() commit message to reference the ATA
    denylist as the intended caller (follow-up patch).

Josh Law (8):

  lib/glob: treat trailing backslash as literal character
  lib/glob: accept [^...] as character class negation syntax
  lib/glob: add case-insensitive glob_match_nocase()

    features
