Fix a memory leak introduced in e83e3333b57 (submodule: port submodule subcommand 'summary' from shell to C, 2020-08-13), to do that stop juggling around the "errmsg" and "struct strbuf", let's instead move the "struct strbuf errmsg" to the top-level. Now we don't need to strbuf_detach() it anymore, but we do need to ensure that we pass NULL to print_submodule_summary() when we have no error message.
