The original code insisted on reading from pack and never from a
loose object, because it knew it would return early when it found a
loose version.  Now we allow a loose one to appear in the middle of
force_object_loose() operation and happily read from it when we do
not see a pack entry for the object---presumably because we are
racing with another simultanous repack process, or something?---and
then write it out as a new (and identical) loose object, which would
not do any harm.

So this is not strictly a no-op conversion; I have a gut feeling
that it would make it more robust, not less, in the presence of
another racing repack process, but I haven't really thought through
race scenarios that may make difference in its behaviour.
