[PATCH] pack-write.c: remove unused `mtimes_name` parameter

`write_mtimes_file()` takes an optional parameter `mtimes_name`, which specifies where to write the mtimes file. If it is NULL, a location is generated with `odb_mkstemp()`.

This imitates the pattern in `write_idx_file()`, and `write_rev_file()`, both of which have callers from the `index-pack` builtin which specify an exact location instead of generating one.

But `write_mtimes_file()` has no such caller, and always ends up calling odb_mkstemp(). To avoid confusion, remove the `mtimes_name` parameter which the lone caller of `write_mtimes_file()` always fills in with NULL.
