Subject: ath10k: use the right length of "background"

From: Nicolas Iooss <[email protected]>

commit 31b239824ece321c09bdb8e61e1d14814eaba38b upstream.

The word "background" contains 10 characters so the third argument of strncmp() need to be 10 in order to match this prefix correctly.

Fixes 855aed1220d2 ("ath10k: add spectral scan feature")
