Fix a regression in a8cc5943338 (hooks: fix an obscure TOCTOU "did we
just run a hook?" race, 2022-03-07): The "invoked_hook" variable
passed to run_commit_hook() wasn't passed forward to run_hooks_opt(),
as push_to_checkout() in that commit correctly did.
Whether we ran the code contingent on having run the hook or not was
thus undefined, but in practice on most (all?) modern platforms we'd
have run it (almost?) all the time, since stack variables will get
initialized to some random value, which most of the time isn't "0".
This bug was revealed by running e.g. "t5537-fetch-shallow.sh" with
the --valgrind option. Unfortunately running the whole test suite with
--valgrind is really slow, so we didn't have a CI job that spotted
this. The --valgrind output was:
==31275== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

That's a really stupid bug, sorry :( This fixes it.
