[PATCH v2 2/7] write_ref_sha1(): Move write elision test to callers

write_ref_sha1() previously skipped the write if the reference already had the desired value, unless lock->force_write was set. Instead, perform that test at the callers.

Two of the callers (in rename_ref()) unconditionally set force_write just before calling write_ref_sha1(), so they don't need the extra check at all. Nor do they need to set force_write anymore.

The last caller, in ref_transaction_commit(), still needs the test.
