Subject: [PATCH 09/10] ext4: reuse path object in ext4_move_extents()

Reuse the path object in ext4_move_extents() so we don't unnecessarily
free and reallocate it.

Also clean up the get_ext_path() wrapper so that it has the same
semantics of freeing the path object on error as ext4_ext_find_extent().
