[PATCH 01/11] sha1_file: do not leak `lock_file`

There is no longer any need to allocate and leak a `struct lock_file`. Initialize it on the stack instead.

Instead of setting `lock = NULL` to signal that we have already rolled back, and that we should not do any more work, check with `is_lock_file_locked()`. Since we take the lock with `LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR`, it evaluates to false exactly when we have called `rollback_lock_file()`.
