When unstaging a partly staged file or submodule, the file_states list
was not updated properly (unless unstaged linewise). Its index_info part
did not contain the former head_info as it should have but kept its old
value.

This seems not to have had any bad effects but diminishes the value of
the file_states list for future enhancements.

I noticed this while whipping up another - soon to be released - patch
where the file_states list is used to access the hash values of staged
and unstaged changes.

AFAICS this buglet did not have negative effects until now because the
index_info hash value is not used.
