hwdb: remove path comparison which broke overriding of properties

Partial fix for #4750.

We would compare strings like "/usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/something.hwdb" and
"/etc/udev/hwdb.db/something.hwdb" and conclude that the first has higher
priority. Since we process files in order (higher priority later), no
comparison is necessary when loading.

This partially undoes 3a04b789c6f17dff2000a3cdbeaaf86baa604524
(not in spirit, but in the implementation).
