Sri Jayaramappa b6ee9b6e20 libsubcmd: Fix null intersection case in exclude_cmds()
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.
