[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 16/48] Fix cg_read_strcmp()

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Jay Kamat <jgkamat@fb.com>

[ Upstream commit 48c2bb0b9cf863e0ed78e269f188ce65b73e0fd1 ]

Fix a couple issues with cg_read_strcmp(), to improve correctness of
cgroup tests
- Fix cg_read_strcmp() always returning 0 for empty "needle" strings.
Previously, this function read to a size = 1 buffer when comparing
against empty strings, which would lead to cg_read_strcmp() comparing
two empty strings.
- Fix a memory leak in cg_read_strcmp()

Fixes: 84092dbcf901 ("selftests: cgroup: add memory controller self-tests")
