cherry: remove redundant check for merge commit

While walking the revision list in get_patch_ids and cmd_cherry, we
check for each commit if there is more than one parent and ignore
the commit if that is the case. Instead, set rev_info.max_parents to
1 and let the revision traversal code handle it for us.
