Notice that this is in fs/cramfs/crams.c, so not specific to sandbox. I
would imagine gcc would be smart enough to replace strlen("/dev/") with
the constant 5, but apparently not:

nm -S fs/cramfs/cramfs.o{.orig,}|grep cramfs_probe
0000000000000053 000000000000015d t cramfs_probe
0000000000000053 000000000000016f t cramfs_probe

With the difference between those two being:

diff --git a/fs/cramfs/cramfs.c b/fs/cramfs/cramfs.c
