From: Mingli Yu <mingli.yu@windriver.com>

+Subject: [PATCH] shell: free cmdline before continue
+
+This patch frees the cmdline when it's not empty but it doesn't contain
+any actual character.
+
+If the cmdline is just whitespaces or \r and \n, the loop continues
+without freeing the cmdline string, so it's a leak.
+
+Fix #1009
