[PATCH 5/5] [GSOC]: ref-filter: instead CALLOC_ARRAY to ALLOC_ARRAY

["ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

populate_value() uses CALLOC_ARRAY() to allocate dynamic memory for
ref->value. But after that, we immediately assign values to its
members in the for loop. This shows that it is not necessary to
use CALLOC_ARRAY() for ref->value to clear the memory.

Therefore, use ALLOC_ARRAY() instead of CALLOC_ARRAY() to reduce the
overhead caused by clearing the memory. This can bring performance
optimizations.
