[PATCH 3/3] grep: avoid one strdup() per file

From: Rasmus Villemoes <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-15 21:56:37
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

There is only one instance of grep_source_init(GREP_SOURCE_FILE), and in
that case the path and identifier arguments are equal - not just as
strings, but the same pointer is passed. So we can save some time and
memory by reusing the gs->path = xstrdup_or_null(path) we have already
done as gs->identifier, and changing grep_source_clear accordingly
to avoid a double free.
