Is this something we need to fix? AFAICT, there is no bug here.

In the case where ceph_mdsc_build_path returns an error, "path" will be
an ERR_PTR and then ceph_mdsc_free_path will be a no-op. If we do need
to take this, we should probably also credit Dan for finding it.

If we do take this, you can also get rid of the place where pathlen is
set in the !dentry case.
