qapi-visit: Less indirection in visit_type_Foo_fields()

We were passing 'Foo **obj' to the internal helper function, but
all uses within the helper were via reads of '*obj'.  Refactor
things to pass one less level of indirection, by having the
callers dereference before calling.

For an example of the generated code change:

|-static void visit_type_BalloonInfo_fields(Visitor *v, BalloonInfo **obj, Error **errp)
|+static void visit_type_BalloonInfo_fields(Visitor *v, BalloonInfo *obj, Error **errp)
| {
|     Error *err = NULL;
|
|-    visit_type_int(v, "actual", &(*obj)->actual, &err);
|+    visit_type_int(v, "actual", &obj->actual, &err);
|     error_propagate(errp, err);
| }
|
|@@ -261,7 +261,7 @@ void visit_type_BalloonInfo(Visitor *v,
|     if (!*obj) {

|     }
|-    visit_type_BalloonInfo_fields(v, obj, &err);
|+    visit_type_BalloonInfo_fields(v, *obj, &err);
| out_obj:

The refactoring will also make it easier to reuse the helpers in
a future patch when implicit structs are stored directly in the
parent struct rather than boxed through a pointer.
