From: Anand Jain <anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 8cf96b409d9b3946ece58ced13f92d0f775b0442 upstream. btrfs_ioctl_ino_to_path() frees the search path after the userspace copy from the temp buffer @ipath->fspath. Which potentially can lead to a lock splat warning. Fix this by freeing the path before we copy it to userspace.
