checkout -p: handle tree arguments correctly again

This fixes a segmentation fault.

The bug is caused by dereferencing `new_branch_info->commit` when it is
`NULL`, which is the case when the tree-ish argument is actually a tree,
not a commit-ish. This was introduced in 5602b500c3 (builtin/checkout:
fix `git checkout -p HEAD...` bug, 2020-10-07), where we tried to ensure
that the special tree-ish `HEAD...` is handled correctly.
