[PATCH 03/12] ls-files: free max_prefix when done

["Andrzej Hunt via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@xxxxxxxxxx>

common_prefix() returns a new string, which we store in max_prefix -
this string needs to be freed to avoid a leak. This leak is happening
in cmd_ls_files, hence is of no real consequence - an UNLEAK would be
just as good, but we might as well free the string properly.

Leak found while running t0002, see output below:

Direct leak of 8 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x49a85d in malloc /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/llvm-11.0.0.src/build/../projects/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:145:3
