link_alt_odb_entry: fix read over array bounds reported by valgrind

pfxlen can be longer than the path in objdir when relative_base
contains the path to gits object directory.  Here we are interested
in checking if ent->base[] (the part that corresponds to .git/objects)
is the same string as objdir, and the code NUL-terminated ent->base[]
to

	LEADING PATH\0XX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\0

in preparation for these "duplicate check" step (before we return
from the function, the first NUL is turned into '/' so that we can
fill XX when probing for loose objects).  All we need to do is to
compare the string with the path to our object directory.
