[PATCH 2/6] find_pack_entry(): do not keep packed_git pointer locally

Commit f7c22cc (always start looking up objects in the last used pack first - 2007-05-30) introduce a static packed_git* pointer as an optimization.

However keeping the pointer may become invalid if free_pack_by_name() happens to free that particular pack.

Move the pointer out and reset the pointer in free_pack_by_name() if we free it.
