[Libguestfs] [PATCH] daemon: readdir: fix invalid memory access on error

If "strdup (d->d_name)" fails with "i" > 0, then both
"p" and
"ret->guestfs_int_dirent_list_val" are non-null pointers, but the
latter
is no more valid (since "p" is the new realloc'ed buffer). Hence,
trying
to free both will access to invalid memory.

Make sure to free only one of them, "p" if not null or
"ret->guestfs_int_dirent_list_val" otherwise.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH] fish: remove extra "prompt" checks

The code is already within a "if (prompt) {...}" block, so checking
for
"prompt" again is redundant.

I think free() is the correct way to free memory here, since the memory
is allocated by realloc().

Can be simplified further:

line_read = readline (ps1 ? decode_ps1 (ps1) : FISH);

free_int_dirent_list in the end calls free on the whole array, but each
element has a char* member which need to be freed too.
