git-diff-index may return incorrect deleted entries when fsmonitor is used in a
repository with git submodules. This can be observed on Mac machines, but it
can affect all other supported platforms too.
If fsmonitor is used, `stat *st` may not be initialized. Since `lstat` calls
aren't not desired when fsmonitor is on, skip the entire gitlink check using
the same condition used to initialize `stat *st`.

This patch is using jonathantanmy@ test case, which now passes. It's
possible there are similar edge cases with fsmonitor, so I'll do more
extensive e2e testing tomorrow.
