Running outside tree (--no-tree) without git root (--root DIR) is not
doable because we have no include/ directory which could be cached. But
3445686af721 expected that we are always in Linux tree (w/a git).
But --no-tree does not require --root. Therefore skip whole caching in
that case.
This fixes perl and find errors when running checkpatch.pl *with*
--no-tree --strict and *without* --root:
No structs that should be const will be found - file 'scripts/const_structs.checkpatch': No such file or directory
Use of uninitialized value $root in concatenation (.) or string at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 1213.
find: ‘/include’: No such file or directory
Fixes: 3445686af721 ("checkpatch: ignore existing CamelCase uses from include/...")

NOTE: I found that running checkpatch.pl on projects which vendored
checkpatch.pl (e.g. LTP or u-boot).
