It's not possible for "cb->newlog" to be NULL if !EXPIRE_REFLOGS_DRY_RUN, since files_reflog_expire() would have error()'d and taken the "goto failure" branch if it couldn't open the file. By not using the "newlog" field private to "file-backend.c"'s "struct expire_reflog_cb", we can move this verbosity logging to "builtin/reflog.c" in a subsequent commit.
