Description:
If defining an attribute CHAR of VARCHAR of length of uneven word length
the comparison function in NdbScanFilter will never work. This is because one
has to pass the exact length in the API, but the kernel uses the rounded size
when doing the actual interpretation of the comparision operation.

How to repeat:
Define an an attribute CHAR(10) and define scan filter for it.

Suggested fix:
The kernel has to round it up if not already done:

	  if ((((argLen + 3) >> 2) << 2) == attrLen) argLen= attrLen;
	  res = (*sqlType.m_cmp)(cs, s1, attrLen, s2, argLen, true);
