Subject: [PATCH][next][V2] 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 and
other similar leaks by moving the call of btrfs_free_path from label out
to label out_free_ulist.

Kudos to David Sterba for spotting the issue in my original fix and
providing the correct way to fix the leak.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak")

V2: move the btrfs_free_path to the out_free_ulist label as suggested by
    David Sterba as the correct fix.
