perf: Fix dynamic field detection
Checking if a tracing field is an array with a dynamic length
requires to check the field type and seek the "__data_loc"
string that prepends the actual type, as can be found in a trace
event format file:
field:__data_loc char[] name; offset:16; size:4; signed:1;
But we actually use strcmp() to check if the field type fully
matches "__data_loc", which may fail as we trip over the rest of
the type.
To fix this, use strncmp to only check if it starts with
"__data_loc".
