read-cache: don't write index twice if we can't write shared index
In a0a967568e ("update-index --split-index: do not split if $GIT_DIR is read only", 2014-06-13), we tried to make sure we can still write an index, even if the shared index can not be written. We did so by just calling 'do_write_locked_index()' just before 'write_shared_index()'. 'do_write_locked_index()' always at least closes the tempfile nowadays, and used to close or commit the lockfile if COMMIT_LOCK or CLOSE_LOCK were given at the time this feature was introduced. COMMIT_LOCK or CLOSE_LOCK is passed in by most callers of 'write_locked_index()'. After calling 'write_shared_index()', we call 'write_split_index()', which calls 'do_write_locked_index()' again, which then tries to use the closed lockfile again, but in fact fails to do so as it's already closed. This eventually leads to a segfault. Make sure to write the main index only once.
