In c7c4bdeccf (run-command API: remove "env" member, always use "env_array", 2021-11-25), there was a push to replace cld.env = env->v; with strvec_pushv(&cld.env_array, env->v); The conversion in c7c4bdeccf was mostly plug-and-play, with the snag that some instances of strvec_pushv() became guarded with a NULL check to ensure that the second argument was non-NULL. This conversion was slightly over-eager to add a conditional in builtin/receive-pack.c::unpack(), since we know at the point that we add the result of `tmp_objdir_env()` into the child process's environment, that `tmp_objdir` is non-NULL. This follows from the conditional just before our strvec_pushv() call (which returns from the function if `tmp_objdir` was NULL), as well as the call to tmp_objdir_add_as_alternate() just below, which relies on its argument (`tmp_objdir`) being non-NULL. In the meantime, this extra conditional isn't hurting anything. But it is redundant and thus unnecessarily confusing. So let's remove it.
