refs: do not invalidate the packed-refs cache unnecessarily

Now that we keep track of the packed-refs file metadata, we can detect
when the packed-refs file has been modified since we last read it, and
we do so automatically every time that get_packed_ref_cache() is
called.  So there is no need to invalidate the cache automatically
when lock_packed_refs() is called; usually the old copy will still be
valid.
