From: Anand Jain <anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 013c1c5585ebcfb19c88efe79063d0463b1b6159 upstream. btrfs_ioctl_get_subvol_info() frees the search path after the userspace copy from the temp buffer @subvol_info. This can lead to a lock splat warning. Fix this by freeing the path before we copy it to userspace.
