Subject: [PATCH] commit-graph: close file before returning NULL

There are two reasons that we could return NULL early within
load_commit_graph_chain():

 1. The file does not exist, so the file pointer is NULL.
 2. The file exists, but is too small to contain a single hash.

These were grouped together when the function was first written in
5c84b3396 (commit-graph: load commit-graph chains, 2019-06-18) in order
to simplify how the 'chain_name' string is freed. However, the current
code leaves a narrow window where the file pointer is not closed when
the file exists, but is rejected for being too small.

Split out these cases separately to ensure we close the file in this
case.

    commit-graph: close file before returning NULL
    
    This change was originally submitted to the microsoft/git fork [1].
    Kleber discovered this issue using some automated tool they are working
    on. We recommended that this change be submitted to the core Git group,
    but we have not had any word from the original author in some time.
    Hence, I am submitting it on their behalf.
