[ Upstream commitb6ee9b6e20] 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.
