refs: fix find_containing_dir() regression

The function used to return NULL when asked to find the containing
directory for a ref that does not exist, allowing the caller to
omit iteration altogether. But a misconversion in an earlier change
"refs.c: extract function search_for_subdir()" started returning the
top-level directory entry, forcing callers to walk everything.
