[PATCH 03/12] builtin/submodule--helper: release unused strbuf to avoid leak

From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@google.com>

relative_url() populates sb. In the normal return path, its buffer is detached using strbuf_detach(). However the early return path does nothing with sb, which means that sb's memory is leaked - therefore we add a release to avoid this leak.

The reset is also only necessary for the normal return path, hence we move it down to after the early-return to avoid unnecessary work.

LSAN output from t0060:
Direct leak of 121 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
