builtin/mv: don't use memory after free

Browse source 
If 'src' already ends with a slash, then add_slash() will just return
it, meaning that 'free(src_with_slash)' is actually 'free(src)'.  Since
we use 'src' later, this will result in use-after-free.

In fact, this cannot happen because 'src' comes from
internal_copy_pathspec() without the KEEP_TRAILING_SLASH flag, so any
trailing '/' will have been stripped; but static analysis tools are not
clever enough to realise this and so warn that 'src' could be used after
having been free'd.  Fix this by checking that 'src_w_slash' is indeed
newly allocated memory.
