Subject: Fix match_prepath()

From: Sachin Prabhu <sprabhu@redhat.com>

commit cd8c42968ee651b69e00f8661caff32b0086e82d upstream.

Incorrect return value for shares not using the prefix path means that
we will never match superblocks for these shares.

Fixes: commit c1d8b24d1819 ("Compare prepaths when comparing superblocks")
