[PATCH 3/9] fixdep: fix out-of-bounds read on a comment ending with a backslash

[lzhan011 <lzsx618@gmail.com>]

From: lzhan011 <zhangleizhen645@gmail.com>

When skipping a comment, parse_dep_file() treats a backslash as escaping
the next character and skips it unconditionally. If the backslash is the
last character of the file, this steps over the terminating NUL and the
loop keeps reading beyond the end of the buffer:

  $ printf 'foo.o: foo.c\n# x\\' > foo.d
  $ touch foo.c
  $ scripts/basic/fixdep foo.d foo.o cc
  AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow ... in parse_dep_file

Only skip the character after the backslash if it is not the terminating
NUL.

Found by fuzzing fixdep with ASan/UBSan.

Fixes: bc6df812a152 ("fixdep: parse Makefile more correctly to handle comments etc.")
