There is more than just that. After adding the worktrees,
(and after the first status call)

    $ cat b2/.git
gitdir: /u/git/t/trash directory.t7419-submodule-worktrees/b/.git/worktrees/b2
    $ cat b2/a/.git
gitdir: /u/git/t/trash
directory.t7419-submodule-worktrees/b/.git/modules/a/worktrees/a

Are worktrees using absolute path for their gitlinks?
Submodules themselves try really hard to use relative path:

    $ cat b/a/.git
gitdir: ../.git/modules/a

Oh. :/ I think we should solve that by either warning
(but that gives bad UX) or actually aborting, by adding
a "|| exit 1" in git-submodule.sh in cmd_update where we
call "git submodule--helper ensure-core-worktree".

When we run "git -C b2 submodule update", it calls
"git submodule--helper ensure-core-worktree a" which
currently would make sure that b2/a/.git points to
b2/.git/modules/a, but that is not the case as b2 and b2/a
are worktrees, whose git directories are housed in
b/.git/worktrees.

So maybe we need to be a bit more careful and check
if b2/a/.git resolves to a worktree and if so we'd not
touch it at all (and warn about it?).
