Subject: [PATCH] fsck: fix strange logic

llvm warns about the confusingly written comparison:

                              !strncmp(argv[i+1], "-", 1) == 0) {
    misc/fsck.c:1178 col 9: warning: logical not is only applied to
      the left hand side of comparison [-Wlogical-not-parentheses]
    misc/fsck.c:1178 col 9: note: add parentheses after the '!' to
      evaluate the comparison first
    misc/fsck.c:1178 col 9: note: add parentheses around left hand
      side expression to silence this warning

It makes sense to simplify this to a character comparison
rather than using strncmp() to check only one character.
