Static analysis warns that pread() doesn't NUL-terminate buffers, and
that we shouldn't pass it directly to strcmp. The sysfs string should
normally have the right termination, but for correctness in the library,
we shouldn't rely on that. Replace the strcmp() calls in question with
an explicit strncmp().

Fixes: 3c0c7db045ec ("ndctl: add a wait-overwrite command")
