upload-pack: do not check NULL return of lookup_unknown_object

We check whether the return value of lookup_unknown_object
is NULL, but some code paths dereference it before our
check. This turns out not to be capable of causing a
segfault, though. The lookup_unknown_object function will
never return NULL, since the whole point is to allocate an
object struct if it does not find an existing one. So the
code here is not wrong, it is just confusing. Let's just
drop the NULL check.
