builtin-merge.c: allocate correct amount of memory
Fix two memory allocation errors which allocate space for a pointer rather than enough space for the structure itself. This: struct commit_list *parent = xmalloc(sizeof(struct commit_list *)); should have been this: struct commit_list *parent = xmalloc(sizeof(struct commit_list)); But while we're at it, change the allocation to reference the variable it is allocating memory for to try to prevent a similar mistake, for example if the type is changed, in the future.
