pull: --ff-only should make it a noop when already-up-to-date

Earlier, we made sure that "git pull --ff-only" (and "git -c pull.ff=only pull") errors out when our current HEAD is not an ancestor of the tip of the history we are merging, but the condition to trigger the error was implemented incorrectly. Imagine you forked from a remote branch, built your history on top of it, and then attempted to pull from them again. If they have not made any update in the meantime, our current HEAD is obviously not their ancestor, and this new error triggers. Without the --ff-only option, we just report that there is no need to pull; we did the same historically with --ff-only, too. Make sure we do not fail with the recently added check to restore the historical behaviour.
