[PATCH v3] path.c enter_repo(): fix unproper strbuf unwrapping and memory leakage

According to strbuf.h, strbuf_detach is the sole supported method to unwrap a memory buffer from its strbuf shell.

So we should not return the pointer of strbuf.buf directly.
What's more, some memory leakages are solved.
