Subject: [PATCH][next] btrfs: fix memory leak of path on error return path

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

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")
Fixes: 5911c8fe05c5 ("btrfs: fiemap: preallocate ulists for btrfs_check_shared")
