From a08eabc6e5a3e0a9c7a15ca15ff7d450ecb6db88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de>

Subject: [PATCH] io: fix a use-after-free in conjunction with HX_realpath

HX_readlink(&x, ...) forgot to set x to nullptr upon error, which
trips up subsequent calls to HX_readlink with the very same x.

Fixes: v3.26-1-g97f4be2
