As strncmp(str, "const", sizeof("const") is exactly the same as
strcmp(str, "const") use that instead, otherwise it is confusing.

sizeof("const") includes the nul terminator ('\0') of the string
"const", and that means strncmp() will only return a match if str and
"const" are exactly the same, which is what strcmp() does.

Changes since v1:

 - Added '[PATCH*]' in subject. Bah!

 - Noticed I didn't save the file after updating "lbr"
