[PATCH 2/2] gpg-interface: fix leak of strbufs in get_ssh_key_fingerprint()

From: Jeff King <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-18 17:15:40
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

We read stdout from gpg into a strbuf, then split it into a list of
strbufs, pull out one element, and return it. But we don't free either
the original stdout buffer, nor the list returned from strbuf_split().

This patch fixes both. Note that we have to detach the returned string
from its strbuf before calling strbuf_list_free(), as that would
otherwise throw it away.
