diff: make sure the other caller of diff_flush_patch_quietly() is silent

Earlier, we added is a protection for the loop that computes "git
diff --quiet -w" to ensure calls to the diff_flush_patch_quietly()
helper stays quiet.  Do the same for another loop that deals with
options like "--name-status" to make calls to the same helper.
