write-tree: Avoid leak when index refers to an invalid object

Noticed by valgrind during test t0000.35 “writing this tree without --missing-ok”. Even in the cherry-pick foo..bar code path, such an error is the end of the line. But maybe some day an interactive porcelain will want to link to libgit, making this matter. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[email protected]>
