[PATCH v2 1/2] format-patch: simplify get_notes_arg parameters

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

85bd88a7 (revision: add rdiff_log_arg to rev_info, 2025-09-25) added `rdiff_log_arg` to `struct rev_info`. I changed `get_notes_arg` by simply replacing the first argument with an access on this struct member. But the second argument was already `struct rev_info`. So I should have just simplified to *only* passing that parameter. Let’s do that now.

Now is also a good time to format this `for_each...` line since it’s gotten quite long.
