If an unfortunate user runs a pack-ref while a git-bisect is active, refs/bisect/* references will stay behind even after the git-bisect finishes, because the clean-up code only paid attention to loose refs. This has a potential to confuse later bisect runs greatly.

Ideally we should further fix parts that manually creates the good references refs/bisect/good-*, and updates bad reference refs/bisect/bad, but that is a cleanliness not correctness issue. For 1.5.3, this minimum fix should do.
