pack-write: skip *.rev work when not writing *.rev

Fix a performance regression introduced in a587b5a786 (pack-write.c:
extract 'write_rev_file_order', 2021-03-30) and stop needlessly
allocating the "pack_order" array and sorting it with
"pack_order_cmp()", only to throw that work away when we discover that
we're not writing *.rev files after all.

This redundant work was not present in the original version of this
code added in 8ef50d9958 (pack-write.c: prepare to write 'pack-*.rev'
files, 2021-01-25). There we'd call write_rev_file() from
e.g. finish_tmp_packfile(), but we'd "return NULL" early in
write_rev_file() if not doing a "WRITE_REV" or "WRITE_REV_VERIFY".
