Remove the local "obj" variable from parse_object_buffer() and return the object directly instead. The reason this variable was introduced was to free() a variable before returning in bd2c39f58f9 ([PATCH] don't load and decompress objects twice with parse_object() 2005-05-06). But that was when parse_object_buffer() didn't exist, there was only the parse_object() function. Since the split-up of the two in 9f613ddd21c (Add git-for-each-ref: helper for language bindings, 2006-09-15) we have not needed this variable, and as demonstrated here not having to set it to (re)set it to NULL simplifies the function.
