lock_ref_sha1_basic(): if locking fails with ENOENT, retry

If hold_lock_file_for_update() fails with errno==ENOENT, it might be
because somebody else (for example, a pack-refs process) has just
deleted one of the lockfile's ancestor directories.  So if this
condition is detected, try again (up to 3 times).
