[PATCH fstools v2] partname: Correct fstools_partname_fallback_scan comparison

Commit 1ea5855e980c ("partname: Introduce fstools_partname_fallback_scan
option") had two problems:

1. The strcmp() aborted when the param *matched* 1; we wanted the
   inverse
2. It was too aggressive about skipping the fallback behavior. For
   devices that had no root= parameter, they would always attempt the
   fallback scan.

Fix both of those.

Fixes: 1ea5855e980c ("partname: Introduce fstools_partname_fallback_scan option")

Changes in v2:
 * Also restore the pre-1ea5855e980c fallback behavior when no root= is
   provided
