checkout -m path: fix recreating conflicts

We should tell ll_merge() that the 3-way merge between stages #2 and #3 is
an outermost merge, not a virtual-ancestor creation.

Back when this code was originally written, users couldn't write custom
merge drivers easily, so the bug didn't matter, but these days it does.
