commit.cocci: refactor code, avoid double rewrite

Browse Source 
"maybe" pointer in 'struct commit' is tricky because it can be lazily
initialized to take advantage of commit-graph if available. This makes
it not safe to access directly.

This leads to a rule in commit.cocci to rewrite 'x->maybe_tree' to
'get_commit_tree(x)'. But that rule alone could lead to incorrectly
rewrite assignments, e.g. from

    x->maybe_tree = yes

to

    get_commit_tree(x) = yes

Because of this we have a second rule to revert this effect. Szeder
found out that we could do better by performing the assignment rewrite
rule first, then the remaining is read-only access and handled by the
current first rule.

For this to work, we need to transform "x->maybe_tree = y" to something
that does NOT contain "x->maybe_tree" to avoid the original first
rule. This is where set_commit_tree() comes in.
