path.c: fix uninitialized memory access
In cleanup_path we're passing in a char array, run a memcmp on it, and run through it without ever checking if something is in the array in the first place. This can lead us to access uninitialized memory, for example in t5541-http-push-smart.sh test 7, when run under valgrind: ==4423== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==4423== at 0x242FA9: cleanup_path (path.c:35) ==4423== by 0x242FA9: mkpath (path.c:456) ==4423== by 0x256CC7: refname_match (refs.c:364) ==4423== by 0x26C181: count_refspec_match (remote.c:1015) ==4423== by 0x26C181: match_explicit_lhs (remote.c:1126) ==4423== by 0x26C181: check_push_refs (remote.c:1409) ==4423== by 0x2ABB4D: transport_push (transport.c:870) ==4423== by 0x186703: push_with_options (push.c:332) ==4423== by 0x18746D: do_push (push.c:409) ==4423== by 0x18746D: cmd_push (push.c:566) ==4423== by 0x1183E0: run_builtin (git.c:352) ==4423== by 0x11973E: handle_builtin (git.c:539) ==4423== by 0x11973E: run_argv (git.c:593) ==4423== by 0x11973E: main (git.c:698) ==4423== Uninitialised value was created by a heap allocation ==4423== at 0x4C2CD8F: malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==4423== by 0x4C2F195: realloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==4423== by 0x2C196B: xrealloc (wrapper.c:137) ==4423== by 0x29A30B: strbuf_grow (strbuf.c:66) ==4423== by 0x29A30B: strbuf_vaddf (strbuf.c:277) ==4423== by 0x242F9F: mkpath (path.c:454) ==4423== by 0x256CC7: refname_match (refs.c:364) ==4423== by 0x26C181: count_refspec_match (remote.c:1015) ==4423== by 0x26C181: match_explicit_lhs (remote.c:1126) ==4423== by 0x26C181: check_push_refs (remote.c:1409) ==4423== by 0x2ABB4D: transport_push (transport.c:870) ==4423== by 0x186703: push_with_options (push.c:332) ==4423== by 0x18746D: do_push (push.c:409) ==4423== by 0x18746D: cmd_push (push.c:566) ==4423== by 0x1183E0: run_builtin (git.c:352) ==4423== by 0x11973E: handle_builtin (git.c:539) ==4423== by 0x11973E: run_argv (git.c:593) ==4423== by 0x11973E: main (git.c:698) ==4423== Avoid this by using skip_prefix(), which knows not to go beyond the end of the string.
