No. Data related to "e" alone could be accessed unprotected. This is
what try_delta has been doing (it's "trg_entry" in there). Because we
know that pack->delta_size[e - pack->objects] is for "e" and no other
entry, we can have the same treatment. If we access other entries'
data though like in my new_delta_size_array(), that could be racy.
