create_branch: move msg setup closer to point of use

In create_branch() we write the reflog msg into a buffer in the main function, but then use it only inside a conditional. If you carefully follow the logic, you can confirm that we never use the buffer uninitialized nor write when it would not be used. But we can make this a lot more obvious by simply moving the write step inside the conditional. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
