It is easy to see that the change is no-op from functionality's
standpoint.  The condition under which ce->ce_flags loses the
CE_SKIP_WORKTREE bit is the same as before, and the only change is
that in the iteration a couple of variables are incremented, which
may (or may not) have performance impact, but shouldn't break
correctness.

I am not sure about the value of these counters, honestly.

If we hit a sparse dir just once, we fully flatten the index and go
back to the restart state, and it would be a bug if we still see a
sparsified directory in the in-core index after that point, so
restart_count would be at most one, wouldn't it?  Why do we even
need to count with intmax_t?

Similarly, path_count is bounded by istate->cache_nr.  As you know
the approximate size of your project, I am not sure what extra
information you want to get by counting the paths with the skip bit
set before the first sparsified directory in the in-core index
twice, and the other paths with the skip bit set just once, and
adding these numbers together.  Also again, I am not quite sure what
the point is to count the paths in intmax_t.
