get_tree_entry(): do not call find_tree_entry() on an empty tree

We know we will find nothing. This incidentally squelches false warning from gcc about potentially uninitialized usage of t.entry fields. For an empty tree, it is true that init_tree_desc() does not call decode_tree_entry() and the tree_desc is left uninitialized, but find_tree_entry() only calls tree_entry_extract() that uses the tree_desc while it has more things to read from the tree, so the uninitialized t.entry fields are never used in such a case anyway.
