walker.c: use ref transaction for ref updates

Switch to using ref transactions in walker_fetch(). As part of the refactoring
to use ref transactions we also fix a potential memory leak where in the
original code if write_ref_sha1() would fail we would end up returning from
the function without free()ing the msg string.

Note that this function is only called when fetching from a remote HTTP
repository onto the local (most of the time single-user) repository which
likely means that the type of collisions that the previous locking would
protect against and cause the fetch to fail for are even more rare.
