read-cache: make do_read_index() always set up istate->repo

If there is no index file, e.g., because the repository has just been
created, we return zero early (unless `must_exist` makes us die
instead.)

This early return means we do not set up `istate->repo`. With
`core.untrackedCache=true`, the recent e6a653554b ("untracked-cache:
support '--untracked-files=all' if configured", 2022-03-31) will
eventually pass down `istate->repo` as a null pointer to
`repo_config_get_string()`, causing a segmentation fault.

If we do hit this early return, set up `istate->repo` similar to when we
actually read the index.
