Make sure "el" can be reuseable again. The problem was el->alloc is
not cleared and may cause segfaults next time because add_exclude()
thinks el->excludes (being NULL) has enough space. Just clear the
entire struct to be safe.

 This was needed in the worktree config split series because the same
 exclude_list could be reused. But that series is changing and will not
 need exclude_list any more. So instead of dropping this patch, I
 submit it separately. It's a good fix anyway.
