[PATCH] Fix memory leak in function handle_content_type

From: Alex via GitGitGadget <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: jinyaoguo <redacted>

The function handle_content_type allocates memory for boundary
using xmalloc(sizeof(struct strbuf)). If (++mi->content_top >=
&mi->content[MAX_BOUNDARIES]) is true, the function returns
without freeing boundary.
