[PATCH v7 1/3] submodule--helper: introduce get_submodule_displaypath()

[Prathamesh Chavan <pc44800@xxxxxxxxx>]

Introduce function get_submodule_displaypath() to replace the code
occurring in submodule_init() for generating displaypath of the
submodule with a call to it.

This new function will also be used in other parts of the system
in later patches.
