Subject: [PATCH] checksrc-all.pl: do not check files multiple times

Restrict `git ls-files` to return `*.[ch]` files within `$dir` only.
Before this patch it returned files in subdirectories too, which did
double work and may have made `checksrc.pl` pick `.checksrc` from the
first such subdirectory, masking the one in `$dir`. (current curl tree
is not affected)

Follow-up to 33f606cd51995b68a0f68ac478f7395d8acda17b #20439

Closes #21909
