Fix users of prefix_path() to free() only when necessary

Unfortunately, prefix_path() sometimes returns a newly xmalloc()ed buffer,
and in other cases it returns a substring!

For example, when calling

	git update-index ./hello.txt

prefix_path() returns "hello.txt", but does not allocate a new buffer. The
original code only checked if the result of prefix_path() was different from
what was passed in, and thusly trigger a segmentation fault.
