Subject: [PATCH] comedi: drivers: ni_routes: Use strcmp() instead of memcmp()

The family and device comparisons were using memcmp(), but this could
lead to Out-of-bounds reads when the length was larger than the
buffers being compared. Since these appear to always be NUL-terminated
strings, just use strcmp() instead.

This was found with Clang under LTO:

Looks good, thanks! I'm not sure why the tests used memcmp() like that.
Indeed, all the strings are statically allocated and null-terminated.

I was probably just being paranoid when I wrote that.
