[PATCH v3 10/10] submodule: fix latent check_has_commit() bug

[Glen Choo <chooglen@google.com>]

When check_has_commit() is called on a missing submodule, initialization
of the struct repository fails, but it attempts to clear the struct
anyway (which is a fatal error). This bug is masked by its only caller,
submodule_has_commits(), first calling add_submodule_odb(). The latter
fails if the submodule does not exist, making submodule_has_commits()
exit early and not invoke check_has_commit().

Fix this bug, and because calling add_submodule_odb() is no longer
necessary as of 13a2f620b2 (submodule: pass repo to
check_has_commit(), 2021-10-08), remove that call too.

This is the last caller of add_submodule_odb(), so remove that
function. (Submodule ODBs are still added as alternates via
add_submodule_odb_by_path().)
