[PATCH] completion: don't override given stash subcommand with -p

df70b190 (completion: make stash -p and alias for stash push -p, 2018-04-20) wanted to make sure "git stash -p <TAB>" offers the same completion as "git stash push -p <TAB>", but it did so by forcing the $subcommand to be "push" whenever then "-p" option is found on the command line.

This harms any subcommand that can take the "-p" option---even when the subcommand is explicitly given, e.g. "git stash show -p", the code added by the change would overwrite the $subcommand the user gave us.

Fix it by making sure that the defaulting to "push" happens only when there is no $subcommand given yet.
