Sebastian Thiel 72695d8214 mv: handle lstat() failure correctly
When moving a directory onto another with `git mv` various checks are
performed. One of of these validates that the destination is not existing.

When calling `lstat` on the destination path and it fails as the path
doesn't exist, some environments seem to overwrite the passed  in
`stat` memory nonetheless (I observed this issue on debian 12 of x86_64,
running on OrbStack on ARM, emulated with Rosetta).

This would affect the code that followed as it would still acccess a now
modified `st` structure, which now seems to contain uninitialized memory.
`S_ISDIR(st_dir_mode)` would then typically return false causing the code
to run into a bad case.

The fix avoids overwriting the existing `st` structure, providing an
alternative that exists only for that purpose.

Note that this patch minimizes complexity instead of stack-frame size.
