Auto merge of #138878 - jieyouxu:revert-ci-llvm, r=dianqk

Revert "fix download-llvm logic for subtree sync branches #137593"

Reverts #137593.

Looks like unfortunately the `--diff-merges=first-parent` flag is a `git show`-only flag, not `git rev-list` which only accepts `--first-parent`.

See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rev-list#Documentation/git-rev-list.txt---first-parent which has `--first-parent`, versus https://git-scm.com/docs/git-show#Documentation/git-show.txt---diff-mergesltformatgt which has `--diff-merges=first-parent`.

This reverts commit 95994f94ff, reversing changes made to 7290b04b0a.

This will unfortunately re-open https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/101907 but that isn't fixed anyway since the git invocation is broken.

cc `@RalfJung` `@Mark-Simulacrum` for FYI (but I would've written the same incorrect flag 💀)
