Good point, lets consider

1. mntopt is cpu and cg_mount_table[j].name is cpuset, strlen is 6 so
   strncmp will fail as expected
2. mntopt is cpuset and cg_mount_table[j].name is cpu, strlen is 3 and
   strcmp will succeed

So the shortest length still holds true, looks like we need to set the
length to strlen(mntopt).

I think the correct answer is to use
strlen(cg_mount_table[j].name) + 1

or to use strcmp() directly, which I don't like very much
