That spot uses memcmp() because ce->name may
not be 0-terminated.

ce->name is 0-terminated (at least if it's created the normal way, I
haven't checked where this "ce" in submodule.c comes from).
ce_namelen() is just an optimization because we happen to store name's
length if it's shorter than 4096, so there's no need to
strlen(ce->name) again.
