read_and_strip_branch: fix typo'd address-of operatorjk/status-read-branch-name-fix

When we are chomping newlines from the end of a strbuf, we
must check "sb.len != 0" before accessing "sb.buf[sb.len - 1]".
However, this code mistakenly checks "&sb.len", which is
always true (it is a part of an auto struct, so the address
is always non-zero). This could lead to us accessing memory
outside the strbuf when we read an empty file.
