[PATCH v2 1/2] object-file: lift ODB reprepare out of packfile flush

From: Justin Tobler <jltobler@gmail.com>

Message-ID: <20260923220315.569424-2-jltobler@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20260923220315.569424-1-jltobler@gmail.com>

When flushing a packfile via `flush_packfile_transaction()`, `odb_reprepare()` is invoked so the written packfile becomes visible in the current process. In a subsequent commit, flushing the packfile is performed earlier when committing a "files" ODB transaction, but the ODB reprepare needs to remain the last step.

Lift ODB reprepare out of `flush_packfile_transaction()` and instead require callers to explicitly invoke `odb_reprepare()` if required.
