Currently if the allocation of roots or tmp_ulist fails the error handling
does not free up the allocation of path causing a memory leak. Fix this by
freeing path with a call to btrfs_free_path before taking the error return
path.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak")

Does this have an id, that coverity uses?

This fixes only one leak, therere are more that I spotted while
reviewing this patch. The gotos from the while-loop jump to
out_free_list but that leave the path behind.

That's why the exit block is a better place for the cleanups. This
requires proper nesting of the cleanup calls, that's slightly
inconvenient in this case. The free_path is before call to
unlock_extent_cached so when the ordre is switched and free_path moved
to out_free_ulist, then all the leaks are addressed in one go.

Bummer that the leaks escaped sight of original patch author (me), 2
reviewers and now 1 fix reviewer.


There is no goto out_free_ulist inside the while loop; where do you see
that? I did git pull again and checked.
