[PATCH v3 2/3] merge-recursive: remove return value from get_files_dirs

The return value of the get_files_dirs call is never being used. Looking at the history of the file and it was originally only being used for debug output statements. Also when read_tree_recursive return value is non zero it is changed to zero. This leads me to believe that it doesn't matter if read_tree_recursive gets an error.

Since the debug output has been removed and the caller isn't checking the return value there is no reason to keep calculating and returning a value.
