[PATCHv2 2/5] submodule--helper clone: simplify path check

The calling shell code makes sure that `path` is non null and non empty. Side note: it cannot be null as just three lines before it is passed to safe_create_leading_directories_const which would crash as you feed it null. That means the `else` part is dead code, so remove it.

To make the code futureproof, add a check for path being NULL or empty and report the error accordingly.
