replay: move onto NULL check before first use

cmd_replay() aborts if the pointer "onto" is NULL after argument
parsing, e.g. when specifying a non-existing commit with --onto.
15cd4ef (replay: make atomic ref updates the default behavior,
2025-11-06) added code that dereferences this pointer before the check.
Switch their places to avoid a segmentation fault.
