Subject: [PATCH] lgtm: replace the query used for looking for fgets with a
 more general query

to make it easier to comlain about `strtok` :-)

Inspired by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11963, which, in turn,
was prompted by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11555.

(cherry picked from commit 7ba5ded9dbd7737bc368521f5ea7c90e5b06ab3e)
