fix leak when getline fails

according to the getline(3) documentation, the calling code needs to
free the buffer even if getline fails.

dmenu currently doesn't do that which results in a small leak in case of
failure (e.g when piped /dev/null)

	$ ./dmenu < /dev/null
	==8201==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks
	Direct leak of 120 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
	    #0 0x7f6bf5785ef7 in malloc
	    #1 0x7f6bf538ec84 in __getdelim
	    #2 0x405d0c in readstdin dmenu.c:557

moving `line = NULL` inside the loop body wasn't strictly necessary, but
IMO it makes it more apparent that `line` is getting cleared to NULL
after each successful iteration.
