[PATCH] Fix infinite loop when deleting multiple packed refs.

["Shawn O. Pearce" <spearce@spearce.org>]

Nicholas Miell reported that `git branch -D A B` failed if both refs
A and B were packed into .git/packed-refs.  This happens because the
same pack_lock instance was being enqueued into the lock list twice,
causing the linked list to change from a singly linked list with
a NULL at the end to a circularly linked list with no termination.
This resulted in an infinite loop traversing the list during exit.

 Fixed.  ;-)

 Junio, this applies to master, but hopefully could also apply to
 maint, as the bug also shows up there.
