log_ref_setup: don't return stack-allocated array

trast · gitster · commit 157aaea5fff7 · 2010-06-12T09:34:17.000-07:00
859c301 (refs: split log_ref_write logic into log_ref_setup,
2010-05-21) refactors the stack allocation of the log_file array into
the new log_ref_setup() function, but passes it back to the caller.

Since the original intent seems to have been to split the work between
log_ref_setup and log_ref_write, make it the caller's responsibility
to allocate the buffer.
