Fix race condition in `helm list` (#4620)

* Fix race in helm list when partitioning

Problem:
The chunks slice that is passed through the channel is reused for each
partition. This means that encoding the release into a message is racing with
populating the next partition, causing the results to sometimes not fit in the
message, and the release list to be incorrect

Solution:
Allocate a new slice for each partition
