[PATCH v2 15/18] submodule--helper: use correct display path helper

<1f7cf6ffaf1086321061d896c4270955d8ed136e.1656623978.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1282.v2.git.git.1656623978.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Glen Choo <chooglen@google.com>

Replace a chunk of code in update_submodule() with an equivalent do_get_submodule_displaypath() invocation. This is already tested by t/t7406-submodule-update.sh:'submodule update --init --recursive from subdirectory', so no tests are added.

The two are equivalent because:
- Exactly one of recursive_prefix|prefix is non-NULL at a time; prefix
  is set at the superproject level, and recursive_prefix is set when
  recursing into submodules. There is also a BUG() statement in
  get_submodule_displaypath() that asserts that both cannot be non-NULL.
- In get_submodule_displaypath(), get_super_prefix() always returns NULL
  because "--super-prefix" is never passed. Thus calling it is
  equivalent to calling do_get_submodule_displaypath() with super_prefix
  = NULL.
Therefore:
- When recursive_prefix is non-NULL, prefix is NULL, and thus
  get_submodule_displaypath() just returns prefixed_path. This is
  identical to calling do_get_submodule_displaypath() with super_prefix
  = recursive_prefix because the return value is still the concatenation
  of recursive_prefix + update_data->sm_path.
- When prefix is non-NULL, prefixed_path = update_data->sm_path. Thus
  calling get_submodule_displaypath() with prefixed_path is equivalent
  to calling do_get_submodule_displaypath() with update_data->sm_path
