Well, not this patch in particular but the series so I chose to it for
the whole series.

Ok done. And also dropped the "if there is any bit set" condition.

Done.

Well if a program uses extra flags on objects it should clear the flags
it set by using the clear_objects_flags() function itself. For example if
the program wants to reuse those extra flags in a second revision walk
it would not be possible if reset_revision_walk() would clear all flags.

Done.

There is no breakage I know of. Its rather a cleanup which allows to
call these functions multiple times. I did this to avoid surprises.
Should I put these in a separate patch or just add an explanation into
the current one?
