The code that checks the RTLA_NO_BPF environment variable calls
getenv() twice and uses strncmp() with a length of 2 to compare
against the single-character string "1". This is inefficient and
the comparison length is unnecessarily long.
Store the result of getenv() in a local variable to avoid the
redundant call, and replace strncmp() with strncmp_static() for
the exact match comparison. This follows the same pattern
established in recent commits that improved string comparison
consistency throughout the rtla codebase.
