[PATCH v2] read-cache: avoid using git_path() in freshen_shared_index()

When performing an interactive rebase in split-index mode, the commit message that one should rework when squashing commits can contain some garbage instead of the usual concatenation of both of the commit messages.

Bisecting shows that c3a0082502 (read-cache: use freshen_shared_index() in read_index_from(), 2017-03-06) is involved, which points to the unsafe use of git_path() in freshen_shared_index().
