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):

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