submodules: recursive fetch also checks new tags for submodule commits
Since 88a21979c (fetch/pull: recurse into submodules when necessary) all fetched commits are examined if they contain submodule changes (unless configuration or command line options inhibit that). If a newly recorded submodule commit is not present in the submodule, a fetch is run inside it to download that commit. Checking new refs was done in an else branch where it wasn't executed for tags. This normally isn't a problem because tags are only fetched with the branches they live on, then checking the new commits in the fetched branches for submodule commits will also process all tags. But when a specific tag is fetched (or the refspec contains refs/tags/) commits only reachable by tags won't be searched for submodule commits, which is a bug. Fix that by moving the code outside the if/else construct to handle new tags just like any other ref. The performance impact of adding tags that most of the time lie on a branch which is checked anyway for new submodule commit should be minimal, as since 6859de4 (fetch: avoid quadratic loop checking for updated submodules) all ref-tips are collected first and then fed to a single rev-list.
