ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_insert_range()

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):

    [<ffffffff818efa9b>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x13/0x8f
    [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

Problem seems mitigated by dropping refs and freeing path
when there's no path[depth].p_ext
