Ocfs2 devel - Aug 2013 - [PATCH] ocfs2: free path in ocfs2_remove_inode_range()

In ocfs2_remove_inode_range(), there is a memory leak.
The variable path has allocated memory with ocfs2_new_path_from_et(), 
but it is not free.

This patch looks good to me.

BTW, I found another similar problem at:
ocfs2/move_extent.c->__ocfs2_move_extent()
with a simple `grep` against the source tree, will post a patch to fix it, would
you like to help review?

Thanks,
