It would have been nice to mention which caller benefits from this
rewrite in the above.
There are four callers of the fill_reftable_log_record() function.
The patch moves the split_ident() call from the callee to these four
callers. The write_transaction_table() function calls it in a loop,
which should give us a big boost. For other three callers, they
call it at most twice (i.e. write_copy_table() when deleting the old
one), so their contribution to the boost should be minimal.
Makes sense.
