Drop the `NULL` check for `remote_ref` in `update_local_ref()`. The
function only has a single caller, and that caller always passes in a
non-`NULL` value.

This fixes a false positive in Coverity.

Thanks for following up on this. I was thinking of just reposting it,
thinking there weren't that many other cleanups to do in fetch.c. But
you found quite a few. :)

The patch looks obviously good to me.
