stream-clone: disable gc for `_entries_walk` duration

The number of small container created turn Python in a gc-frenzy that seriously
impact performance.

This significantly boost performance. The following number comes from a large
private repository using perf::stream-locked-section:

base-line:   35.04 seconds
prev-change: 24.51 seconds (-30%)
this-change: 20.88 seconds (-40% from baseline; -15% from previous changes)
