Fix --cherry-pick with given paths

If you say --cherry-pick, you do not want to see patches which are
in the upstream.  If you specify paths with that, what you usually
expect is that only those parts of the patches are looked at which
actually touch the given paths.

With this patch, that expectation is met.

Noticed by Sam Vilain.
