check-attr: move to the top of working tree when in non-bare repository

Lasse Makholm noticed that running "git check-attr" from a place
totally unrelated to $GIT_DIR and $GIT_WORK_TREE does not give
expected results.  I think it is because the command does not say it
wants to call setup_work_tree().

We still need to support use cases where only a bare repository is
involved, so unconditionally requiring a working tree would not work
well.  Instead, make a call only in a non-bare repository.

We may want to see if we want to do a similar fix in the opposite
direction to check-ignore.  The command unconditionally requires a
working tree, but it should be usable in a bare repository just like
check-attr attempts to be.
