revwalk: detect when we're out of interesting commits
When walking backwards and marking parents uninteresting, make sure we detect when the list of commits we have left has run out of uninteresting commits so we can stop marking commits as uninteresting. Failing to do so can mean that we walk the whole history marking everything uninteresting, which eats up time, CPU and IO for with useless work. While pre-marking does look for this, we still need to check during the main traversal as there are setups for which pre-marking does not leave enough information in the commits. This can happen if we push a commit and hide its parent.
