wmi: use memcmp instead of strncmp to compare GUIDs
commit 8b14d7b22c61f17ccb869e0047d9df6dd9f50a9f upstream.
While looking for the duplicates in /sys/class/wmi/, I couldn't find
them. The code that looks for duplicates uses strncmp in a binary GUID,
which may contain zero bytes. The right function is memcmp, which is
also used in another section of wmi code.
It was finding 49142400-C6A3-40FA-BADB-8A2652834100 as a duplicate of
39142400-C6A3-40FA-BADB-8A2652834100. Since the first byte is the fourth
printed, they were found as equal by strncmp.
