[PATCH 7/8] [GSOC] cat-file: reuse err buf in batch_objet_write()

["ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@xxxxxxxxx>

Reuse the `err` buffer in batch_object_write(), as the
buffer `scratch` does. This will reduce the overhead
of multiple allocations of memory of the err buffer.
