[PATCH] config.c: NULL check when reading protected config

From

Message-ID
<pull.1299.git.git.1658855372189.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Glen Choo <chooglen@google.com>

In read_protected_config(), check whether each file name is NULL before attempting to read it. This mirrors do_git_config_sequence() (which read_protected_config() is modelled after).

Without these NULL checks,
 make SANITIZE=address test T=t0410*.sh
fails because xdg_config is NULL, causing us to call fopen(NULL).

    config.c: NULL check when reading protected config
    
    This fixes the SANITIZE=address failure on master, That was introduced
    by gc/bare-repo-discovery. Thanks again to Ævar for the original report
    [1] and for proposing a way to catch this in CI [2].
