list-objects.c: don't add an unparsed NULL as a pending tree

"git rev-list --first-parent --boundary $commit^..$commit" segfaults on a
merge commit since 8d2dfc4 (process_{tree,blob}: show objects without
buffering, 2009-04-10), as it tried to dereference a commit that was
discarded as UNINTERESTING without being parsed (hence lacking "tree").
