We hit the following use-after-free:

==================================================================

The flow of issue triggering is as follows:

ext4_split_extent_at
path = *ppath
ext4_ext_insert_extent(ppath)
ext4_ext_create_new_leaf(ppath)
ext4_find_extent(orig_path)
path = *orig_path
read_extent_tree_block
// return -ENOMEM or -EIO
ext4_free_ext_path(path)
kfree(path)
*orig_path = NULL
a. If err is -ENOMEM:
ext4_ext_dirty(path + path->p_depth)
// path use-after-free !!!
b. If err is -EIO and we have EXT_DEBUG defined:
ext4_ext_show_leaf(path)
eh = path[depth].p_hdr
// path also use-after-free !!!

So when trying to zeroout or fix the extent length, call ext4_find_extent()
to update the path.

In addition we use *ppath directly as an ext4_ext_show_leaf() input to
avoid possible use-after-free when EXT_DEBUG is defined, and to avoid
unnecessary path updates.

Fixes: dfe5080939ea ("ext4: drop EXT4_EX_NOFREE_ON_ERR from rest of extents handling code")
