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.
