get_ref_dir is called recursively for subdirectories, which means that we were calling sort_ref_list for each directory of refs instead of once for all the refs. This is a massive wast of processing, so now just call sort_ref_list on the result of the top-level get_ref_dir, so that the sort is only done once. In the common case of only a few different directories of refs the difference isn't very noticable, but it becomes very noticeable when you have a large number of direcotries containing refs (e.g. as created by Gerrit).
