Stop creating keep-arounds on merge-request notes

James Fargher requested to merge note_keep_arounds into master

What does this MR do and why?

Merge requests already keep all associated commits. When notes create keep-arounds on merge requests they are always superfluous - created on commit chains that are already kept.

This will reduce the total number of keep-around refs create on .com by roughly 17k refs/day.
