btrfs_free_path() passes its argument on to other functions and some of
them end up dereferencing the pointer.
In the code above that pointer is clearly NULL, so btrfs_free_path() will
eventually cause a NULL dereference.
There are many ways to cut this cake (fix the bug). The one I chose was to
make btrfs_free_path() deal gracefully with NULL pointers. If you
disagree, feel free to come up with an alternative patch.
