Sri Jayaramappa e9003b4406 libsubcmd: Fix null intersection case in exclude_cmds() 
[ Upstream commit b6ee9b6e20 ]

When there is no exclusion occurring from the cmds list - for example -
cmds contains ["read-vdso32"] and excludes contains ["archive"] - the
main loop completes with ci == cj == 0. In the original code the loop
processing the remaining elements in the list was conditional:

    if (ci != cj) { ...}

So we end up in the assertion loop since ci < cmds->cnt and we
incorrectly try to assert the list elements to be NULL and fail with
the following error

   help.c:104: exclude_cmds: Assertion `cmds->names[ci] == NULL' failed.

Fix this by moving the if (ci != cj) check inside of a broader loop.
If ci != cj, left shift the list elements, as before, and then
unconditionally advance the ci and cj indicies which also covers the
ci == cj case.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
