[PATCH] selinux: fix a wrong check condition of strcmp()

From: xkernel . wang
Date: Tue Dec 14 2021 - 04:35:00 EST


From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

strcmp() will return 0 when two strings(s1, s2 for example) are equal.
And if a negative number means s1 < s2. Here seems should use == 0 as
the condition. Otherwise, the value of genfs->fstype can not be
guaranteed.
