comp_write_worker() returns true when the compared data matches.
memcmp() returns zero for equal data and non-zero for different data, so
its result must be negated before it is stored in a bool.

The first segment already uses !memcmp(), but the wrapped segment uses
memcmp() directly, reversing the match result. Use !memcmp() there as
well.
