Subject: ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_insert_range()
From: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be>
commit edf15aa180d7b98fe16bd3eda42f9dd0e60dee20 upstream.
Running xfstests generic/013 with kmemleak gives the following:
unreferenced object 0xffff8801d3d27de0 (size 96):
comm "fsstress", pid 4941, jiffies 4294860168 (age 53.485s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

backtrace:

[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
Problem seems mitigated by dropping refs and freeing path
when there's no path[depth].p_ext
