[PATCH v4] pack-bitmap: remove checks before bitmap_free

["Lidong Yan via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Lidong Yan <502024330056@smail.nju.edu.cn>

In pack-bitmap.c:find_boundary_objects(), the roots_bitmap is only freed
if cascade_pseudo_merges_1() fails. Since cascade_pseudo_merges_1() only
use roots_bitmap as a mutable reference but not takes roots_bitmap's
ownership. Once cascade_pseudo_merges_1 succeed(), roots_bitmap leaks.
And this leak currently lacks a dedicated test to detect it.

To fix this leak, remove if cascade_pseudo_merges_1() succeed check and
always calling bitmap_free(roots_bitmap);

To trigger this leak, we need a pseudo-merge whose size is equal to
or smaller than roots_bitmap (which corresponds to the set of "haves"
commits in prepare_bitmap_walk()). To do this, we can create two
commits: A and B. Add A to the pseudo-merge list and perform a traversal
over the range A..B. In this scenario, the "haves" set will be {A},
and cascade_pseudo_merges_1() will succeed, thereby exposing the leak
due to the missing roots_bitmap cleanup.

    pack-bitmap: remove checks before bitmap_free
    
    In pack-bitmap.c:find_boundary_objects, remove cascade success check and
    always free roots_bitmap afterward to make static analysis tool works
    better.
