[PATCH] drivers/video/fbdev/sis/sis_main.c: avoid repeated strlen() calls

gcc is not smart enough to realize that strlen(strbuf1) cannot be
changed by the loop body, so it is forced to recompute it, at least in
the branch containing the assignment. Avoid this by using an
equivalent stopping condition.

Does it matter? Is sisfb calling sisfb_search_mode thousands of times?
