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.
