[PATCH 0/1] MR8464: ntdll: Collapse paths in get_unix_full_path.

[William Horvath (＠whrvt)]

Before the commit in question, both of these paths would be parsed as valid (with e.g. FindFirstFile):
```
Z:\tmp\*
/tmp//*
```

After the commit, only the DOS path is accepted, while the Unix path returns ERROR_INVALID_NAME.

Fixes: ffa88c3993c3da97c7403209ef2068b2e3fac66f

There shouldn't be any reason to do that here. Removing duplicate backslashes can be done much more simply.

Thanks, 93e945e3237d300e13fa7f16044cdaf8364197bb fixes this properly. I wasn't really satisfied with my solution, either.

I didn't have a good enough understanding of how these path functions interacted, so I don't really have an excuse other than I impulsively submitted the first idea that seemed plausible to me.
