Got use-after-free warning under GCC 12 with `-O3` option, and I found
that `nsh_strcat` may realloc `ptr`, then `cmdline` may point to invalid
memory.
Let `cmdline` point to the reallocated `ptr` may solve the problem.
Tested by `alias ll='ls -l'` and `ll /` on sim.
GCC output:
CC: binfmt_unloadmodule.c In function 'nsh_aliasexpand',
inlined from 'nsh_argument' at nsh_parse.c:1879:20:
nsh_parse.c:1196:23: error: pointer 'ptr' used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free]
1196 | ptr = cmdline + len;
