sparse-checkout: check commit_lock_file when writing patterns

When writing a new "sparse-checkout" file, we do the usual strategy of
writing to a lockfile and committing it into place. But we don't check
the outcome of commit_lock_file(). Failing there would prevent us from
writing a bogus file (good), but we would ignore the error and return a
successful exit code (bad).

Fix this by calling die(). Note that we need to keep the sparse_filename
variable valid for longer, since the filename stored in the lock_file
struct will be dropped when we run commit_lock_file().
