These changes result segmentation faults in the tests '--quiet
propagates to parallel submodules' and 'fetching submodules respects
parallel settings' in 't5526-fetch-submodules.sh'.
If the number of jobs is specified as '-j 2' or '--jobs 7', i.e. as an
unstuck argument of the option, as opposed to '-j2' or '--jobs=7',
then 'arg' in the parse_jobs_arg() callback is NULL, which then causes
the segfault somewhere inside that atoi() call.
