Nope.  It's also used, for example, by "tshark -x", even if "-V" isn't  
specified.  There may be other places where it's used as well.

I've checked in a change to remove the test for a non-null, visible  
protocol tree.  If this optimization is to be done, we need a better  
way of determining whether the data sources will be used.
