AFAICT, `occur--garbage-collect-revert-args` aims to throw away the
overlays when they're not needed, but we will need them again if we want
to `revert-buffer`, so we shouldn't call this function until we're sure
`revert-buffer` won't be called.  IOW, I think we should just remove
the above call.

[ I just took a look at the history of this code, and I see that it
  claims I'm the one who added that function and that call 2 years
  ago.  I say this is fake news  ;-)  ]
