[PATCH v3 06/17] safe_create_leading_directories(): always restore slash at end of loop

From

Always restore the slash that we scribbled over at the end of the loop, rather than also fixing it up at each premature exit from the loop. This makes it harder to forget to do the cleanup as new paths are added to the code.
