    blame: do not decrement commit refcount in make_origin When we create a blame origin, we try to look up the blob that is to be blamed at a certain revision. When this lookup fails, e.g. because the file did not exist at that certain revision, we fail to create the blame origin and return `NULL`. The blame origin that we have just allocated is thereby free'd with `origin_decref`. The `origin_decref` function does not only decrement reference counts for the blame origin, though, but also for its commit and blob. When this is done in the error case, we will cause an uneven reference count for these objects. This may result in hard-to-debug failures at seemingly unrelated code paths, where we try to access these objects when they in fact have already been free'd. Fix the issue by refactoring `make_origin` such that we only allocate the object after the only function that may fail so that we do not have to call `origin_decref` at all. Also fix the `pass_blame` function, which indirectly calls `make_origin`, to free the commit when `make_origin` failed.
