Han Young 2d88ab078d diffcore-break: avoid segfault with freed entries
After we have freed the file pair, we should set the queue reference to null.
When computing a diff in a partial clone, there is a chance that we
could trigger a prefetch of missing objects when there are freed entries in
the global diff queue due to break-rewrites detection. The segfault only occurs
if an entry has been freed by break-rewrites and there is an entry
to be prefetched.

There is a new test in t4067 that trigger the segmentation fault that results
in this case. The test explicitly fetch the necessary blobs to trigger the
break rewrites, some blobs are left to be prefetched.

The fix is to set the queue pointer to NULL after it is freed, the prefetch
will skip NULL entries.
