    libctf: Fix an out-of-bounds read in ctf_lookup_by_name()
    
    When prefixes such as struct, union, etc. are compared with the current
    type (e.g. struct foo), a comparison is made with the prefix.  The code
    currently assumes that every type is a valid C type with a prefix,
    however at times, garbage ends up in this function causing an
    unpredictable crash with DTrace due to the isspace(*p) call or
    subsequent calls. An example that I've seen of this is the letter 's'
    being passed in, comparing true with struct as the comparison size was
    (q - p) == 1, but then we increment p with the length of "struct",
    resulting in an out of bounds read.
