[PATCH 04/11] get_oid_with_context_1(): avoid use-after-free

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In 561287d342cc (object-name: reject trees found in the index,
2022-04-26), we changed the code to release the memory stored under the
`new_path` variable a bit earlier.

However, at that point the variable `cp` still points to `new_path` (if
non-`NULL`), and we _then_ pass that pointer to
`reject_tree_in_index()`.

Let's make sure that the pointer still points to allocated memory by
moving the original `free()` call back where it was, and adding another
one in the early return code path.
