import: don't rollback on failed import --exact (issue3616)

The checkexact() helper function was calling repo.rollback() from inside
an open transaction. In addition to being insane, this is unnecessary
because import will release the transaction on an exception.

It turns out that this has been broken since the feature was first
introduced, first released in v1.0:

description:
Add import --exact.
When this option is set, import will apply the patch (which must
be generated by export) to the parents specified in the patch,
and check that the node produced by the patch matches the node
ID in the patch.
