From: Fabian Frederick <fabf@xxxxxxxxx>
commit edf15aa180d7b98fe16bd3eda42f9dd0e60dee20 upstream.
Running xfstests generic/013 with kmemleak gives the following:
unreferenced object 0xffff8801d3d27de0 (size 96):
comm "fsstress", pid 4941, jiffies 4294860168 (age 53.485s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 ................
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
backtrace:

[<ffffffff818efa9b>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x13/0x8f
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
Problem seems mitigated by dropping refs and freeing path
when there's no path[depth].p_ext
