model: avoid another extra creation of Model object
Do not create model object while sorting entry before creating model
object.
This is another case of "let us create object X to prepare the creation
of object X", slowing things down.
In practice, we will likely skip this code-path after the next
changeset, however this seems useful to get this performance footgun
out the way.
We tested this change on simple information of the Mercurial loader,
with a noop-loader stockage:
swh loader run mercurial https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/mercurial-devel directory=/data/repos/mercurial-devel
Median time of 3 run
before 12 minutes 59 seconds
after: 11 minute 56 seconds
On a profile of the same run, the to_model call of the from_disk's Directory class took the following percentage:
before: 24%
after: 17%
