[PATCH v3 3/3] refs.c: change ref_transaction_commit to run the commit loops once all work is finished

From: Ronnie Sahlberg <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:00:41
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

During a transaction commit we will both update and delete refs.
Since both update and delete now use the same pattern

    lock = lock_ref_sha1_basic() (or varient of)
    write_ref_sha1(lock)/delete_ref_loose(lock)
    unlock_ref(lock) | commit_ref_lock(lock)

we can now simplify ref_transaction_commit to have one loop that locks all
involved refs.
A second loop that writes or flags for deletion, but does not commit, all
the refs.
And a final third loop that commits all the refs once all the work and
preparations are complete.

This makes updating/deleting multiple refs more atomic since we will not start
the commit phase until all the preparations have completed successfully.
