[PATCH 3/4] security/selinux: decrement sizeof size in strncmp

[Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

As observed by Joe Perches, sizeof of a constant string includes the
trailing 0.  If what is wanted is to check the initial characters of
another string, this trailing 0 should not be taken into account.  If an
exact match is wanted, strcmp should be used instead.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression foo;
constant char *abc;
@@

strncmp(foo, abc, 
- sizeof(abc)
+ sizeof(abc)-1
 )
// </smpl>
