In 7c117184d7 ("bisect: fix off-by-one error in
`best_bisection_sorted()`", 2017-11-05) the more careful logic dealing
with freeing p->next in 50e62a8e70 ("rev-list: implement
--bisect-all", 2007-10-22) was removed.
Restore the more careful check to avoid segfaulting. Ideally this
would come with a test case, but we don't have steps to reproduce
this, only a backtrace from gdb pointing to this being the issue.
